We all know now about the AOL search debacle now, but there have been many more than that in the past century. Wired News has collaborated a list of them, many of which we don’t even think all that much of today. For example, the creation of the social security number is number 1 on their list. When you think about it, that really did screw Americans over on privacy. Now there’s 1 number that anyone can use to track anything you do, and if it happens to fall in the wrong hands, it even allows for identity theft. Yikes! The others listed are on the same order of privacy wrecking though and the article is a very good read.
