Found this crazy tip... Always clear your browser's cookies before booking flights online or use your browser's incognito mode. Many airlines and travel web sites (such as Expedia, Kayak, etc.) track how many times you've visited their websites. In so doing, they provide different offers and deals depending on the user.
Track me? Wow. I mean I guess I knew that... kinda... but not really...
Today I had someone look at me mid-conversation and snottily say "I realize you have absolutely no idea what I do in a day, but..." Thankfully my poker face has improved over the last 2 years... but my brain - at least the part not controlling my face - was saying... "and you have no idea what my "normal" looks like pal".
Websites know all about every click we make... and the people around us have no idea...
But do we share ourselves? Do we listen or just wait to talk? Do we ask the people around us about their worlds?
I don't... I worry they don't want to talk... or they will misinterpret what I mean... but I wish I knew "what that person does in a day"... not like a statistical web browser factoid... but in a connected empathetic "what are they dealing with" way.
I don't like that man. I must get to know him better. - Abraham Lincoln
