I texted a message containing the word “urologist.” Suddenly, every fourth YouTube video contained the word “urologist.” Costco texted me that drug xyz was ready. Suddenly, there were a lot of suggested videos containing the word xyz.

My point is, there’s already too much about us online. There’s no way I would let my stove, washing machine and refrigerator go online. My HP printer was very difficult to work just using a USB. It wanted me to connect via Wi-Fi, which it told me it could see. It promised I’d never miss a message to refill my ink cartridge’s and promised me other benefits. There’s no way I would let my neighbors use my bandwidth. I don’t care how careful they think they are. I watched a former hacker, now Microsoft employee give a talk. He said, the problem with mew products is the engineers make them to do X. A hacker takes it and says, “Gosh, what else can I make it do?”

This is why at least once a week I do a quick google and youtube search on swimsuits and lingerie. It usually gives me a week of pleasant filler ads.

Mine would contact the ACLU, demanding reparations for slavery.

This is why the hackers get paid the big bucks.
