Is it really your decision?

What is the easiest way to hide something? Put it right out in the open of course. How about the easiest way to convince someone to do something? Make them think it was their idea. I am aware that the ability to share my thoughts online makes them public record. I am also aware that I carry a GPS tracking device everywhere I go. This device also transfers what I say and may record it.  Unfortunately advances in technology which make life easier and unify us can also be used to direct and contain us.  I'm not sure whether to be more concerned about my lack of privacy or my lack of control over what happens in the world around me.  However I refuse to become a victim. I choose, knowing full well what negatives come with the positives. Although I am unhappy that so many people find importance in that which is not important and make decisions based on impulses and incentives....  When do we stand up as people, as individuals that combine to create a great human race, and refuse to be led and fed like cattle...  a better question that I find myself asking constantly is how do we?
