I’m not sure if this is creepy or cool.
My BF and I went over the border to Buffalo for a mini-vacation this past long weekend. I was a good girl and I did not take my laptop because I was supposed to be “getting away”.
Before we checked out of the hotel, I used the hotel computer just to quickly check email. No big deal, I didn’t do any work, I promise.
When we got home after a lovely break, I checked my email and found something very interesting. There was a message from Google (I use gmail) saying that there was a “new sign-in from Chrome on Windows”.
The message went on the say that my Google account was accessed from Windows, on Saturday, August 1, 2015 at 10:54AM in Cheektowaga, NY, USA.
What!?!?!?!?
At first, I was a little creeped out. It felt kind of “Big Brother”-ish. I guess it was for my benefit though. They “were unable to determine whether I have used this browser or device with my account before” and thought I should be aware of this unusual activity.
Still, I felt like I was being followed. What if I didn’t want anyone to know I had gone to Buffalo? When else is my activity being monitored?
I’m still undecided – creepy or cool?
What do you think?
