Google Health?

Google has retaken the driver’s seat in the car called World Domination. Its new tool, Flu Trends, gathers information to identify possible flu outbreaks. How does this magic happen? Well, when you type in Google’s search bar it can identify the state that you are in. Using this information, it can construct a graphical representation of the US and display how often the ‘flu’ gets searched for by state. Pretty crafty. And pretty scary. With all my personal information going out, the last thing I want is for Google to start mailing me tissues and lotions based on my searches.
