What Color Suit To Wear With A Grey Shirt And Tie

Tell me what you post, and I'll tell you who you are!

to believe! A letter I received today with the following content by the Office for the collection, storage and linkage of personal information:

"Dear Mr. Stein,
in the simplification of the collection, storage and linkage of personal information we ask you to continue at least daily updated release the following information about yourself:

- Satisfaction with your life situation
- Satisfaction with your job situation
- implemented and planned activities
- current and proposed staging
- current state of mind
- ... "

more followed me very strange-looking information needs. And before I question my What are they doing with this data? could really think to the end, it was explained to me in writing, to which all must be good:

"The information provided will be collected by us is stored and linked to a personality, interests and physical profile. The collected information, we make available to interested institutions, corporations and individuals on request for free. "

What?

Of course, there is the center for collecting, storing and linking personal information only in my imagination.
course I also have never received such a letter.
course I would (and certainly not just me) to be shocked, if such a thing really existed.

On the other side:
course I find information on how they are called for in the fictitious letter from the fictitious center for collecting, storing and linking personal information from me, abound on the Internet, particularly on the social media platforms:

- Today we post our favorite brands in our public VZ profile to us a week later to wonder about the new catalogs.

- Eben we philosophize in the pub on the possibly illegal retention. With your phone in hand we twitter, meanwhile, calmly: "I'm at Rudy's Pub and after the fifth beer, the butts all ..."

- Our virtual photo albums are full of personal photos, our parents in their time, probably not even their friends have shown. We will show the same all over the world. The fact that a few other faces are on it with bother us much.

- And because I hit some really emotional parts again, I have the next three hours, all depressing songs via Facebook. Like me.

All just examples. Right.
But just look at Facebook, Twitter, VN & Co. to. Think about what you conclude from the sometimes thoughtless information published everything. Even more if they linked. This must happen not even in a big way - I do not believe in conspiracy theory.

But you will some very skillful negotiator somehow?
asked why the staff in the interview at certain points so after intense, as if he knew anything? Where does the seller actually knows
your personal hobbies and preferences?
How do the insurance agent that you crave right now for a bit more security?

Also all purely fictitious examples.
