Do you really have a choice to not use them? If so:
- You must not use android and have Google know your location for traffic purposes (and other ad-related data-mining)
- You must ensure all your friends never post pictures of you on FB, preventing them from building a profile about you by association
- You must block every single ad that originates from the Google ad network (and which is eager to learn your browsing habits)
- You must never fly on an airline belonging to Star Alliance, as Google bought ITA Software (formerly known as Sabre) to get a hold of all the airline reservations done for those airlines
- You must never send an email to someone with a Gmail address
This is a case where choosing to not use Google is a bit more complicated than choosing to not drink Coke.
