Privacy on the Web

According to an article written by cnet (newshttp://news.cnet.com), our freedom on the web is limited. Google has the ability to track our internet history through their site. For me I am not too affected by it but I can see how others would be. This article states there are not really any laws to protect us from this.

"Q: Aren't there any privacy laws that protect us?
Not really. There is a federal law called the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. But it was enacted in 1986, long before politicians knew about the Internet, and the wording doesn't prevent police and attorneys from targeting search engines."

Google can track us even if we are not logged in.
What does this mean for a world that relies so heavenly on the internet?
