I’ll say this. Mistake or not, saying sorry only goes so far with me anymore.

I accept they made a mistake. The other component in this, like some others have also mentioned, is the actual ability to what they did in the first place.

You can’t convince me for one second, every time a download occurs, there is not some type of information gathering commences whether it be for marketing purposes, etc.

There is no doubt, technology is an awesome thing. It has made medicine what it is today. We just installed digital radiology in our office. A remote connection can read a pacemaker.

I still however, feel there is a privacy issue altogether. I just don’t know. Fool me once…

Anymore, I wish I could say I feel that some sort of moral compass will guide this into the future, but I would not bet my paycheck on it.
