Much is written these days about the information that
corporations are collecting about all of us every time we use our credit cards,
our phones. Perhaps every time we log on to what my brother calls the
inter-web. They track what we buy, where we go, how we get there, how we
pay for it, and so on, all of which in the end paints some kind of pixel
picture of us. The major air carriers have collected some information
about me that for some reason has caused them to program my seat assignments
such that, no matter what airline I travel, no matter in which direction, I am
always seated on the opposite side of the plane from which, the captain tells
us, the passengers seated on that side will shortly be having an excellent view
of the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, or whatever it is that is worth coming on
the radio to mention. What I have done to deserve this I know not.
