Adware/Spyware

Imagine it’s the mid 1950s and you open your front door (today’s browser), to get a breath of fresh air. You close the door and turn around and find that the walls are now papered with advertisements all over the house. What you don’t know is your phone has now been bugged and there is person hidden in the bushes next to a window watching every thing you do.

Would this be an allowable or acceptable practice back then, I think not. So why should the equivalent of this kind of action be an acceptable practice on your PC in today’s world!
