Big data is tracking me and my cat

My cat buddy Horus coughs and sneezes a lot so I typed the symptoms into
google.com.

I learned that heartworms are a possible cause of coughing.

So I visited several web sites about cats and heartworms to educate myself.

Three months later I received in the mail an offer for dog heartworm
medicine.

Coincidence?  I think not.  Google and/or big data is collecting, saving,
correlating and selling my personal Internet data.

The downside to all this correlation is false data gets entered into your
file.

I have never owned a dog.  I like dogs.

There are no heartworm medicines for cats.

Sorry Horus my buddy.

Horus and MCE
