This is a scary reality once a person begins to think about it. I didn't realize the one about the lack of privacy to rubbish, so thanks for that one. I can't imagine with smartphones and apps how much data and privacy we give away just to play a game or have an app to help us do something mundane that we could have done easily without the assistance of a computer...Literally signing rights away without reading the disclaimer and "Terms of Use" information can be pretty invasive as well.
A very well written post, kudos!
