Mrs. Mecomber’s Scrapbook

Forget all that “eye in the sky” stuff. The Big Brother and Inc. want to follow you everywhere, watching everything you watch! This is unbelievable.

What better way to track people’s video consumption than to have someone follow them around all day — literally from the time they wake up until they retire at night — making detailed notes about when and how they watch, listen, surf, read, play video games, download, text and talk on the phone?

That’s exactly how a new $3.5 million study–funded by the Nielsen Co.–will track the media usage habits of a panel of some 450 consumers in separate phases throughout this year beginning next month.

Some people will do anything for a buck. This is creepy. Do you think there’s anything wrong with being completely monitored for marketing purposes?
