New Scientist:
"Living online: The end of privacy?"
Has links to a few other items (not all necessarily worth the read), including the following SF:
Bruce Sterling, short-short SF story: I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by Google"
(I suspect that Bruce had nothing to do with that title; the story really doesn't have a lot to do with Google.)
Presented as a countervailing vision to the above by someone on /., we have this (rather less short) story by Vernor Vinge: Synthetic Serendipity
