Read These

Here's another great article; I'd like to call it a MUST-READ, but that label won't be enforced.

It reads, in part:

UNTIL A FEW YEARS ago [...] our only method of tracking ourselves was to notice what we were doing and write it down. But even this written record couldn’t be analyzed objectively without laborious processing and analysis.  [...] Then four things changed. First, electronic sensors got smaller and better. Second, people started carrying powerful computing devices, typically disguised as mobile phones. Third, social media made it seem normal to share everything. And fourth, we began to get an inkling of the rise of a global superintelligence known as the cloud.

And here's another article, from a very different perspective. And here's another holy crap article.  And remember what I said about Harry Potter?  And this article reminds me of the Bob Dylan line: "if my thoughts/ dreams could be seen--they'd probably put my head in a guillotine."
