The day has come. The world is afloat with data. Everything around you is gathering bytes of information.... about you, your family, your dog and his fleas. Your refrigerator is a smart refrigerator; you drive a smart car; you use a smart phone; your house has a smart burglar alarm system; you use a smart system to water your plants while you're off to explore the moon. All of these things are connected and interconnected, their gathered information stored in an immense computer system that is now being tapped to alter your life's choices about what you buy and what you do.
You sneeze; your computer screen is filled with ads for Kleenex. You go to the restroom; your phone is filled with text messages about toilet tissues. You go outside to change a battery in your surveillance system and you get flooded with ads from Duracell. You saunter into the grocery store and your I-Phone screen puts out brilliant ads for Gatorade on sale; it's not just coincidental that you bought some Gatorade the last time you were in that store.
You never know when the camera in your computer screen is observing you. Yahoo is now reading your emails. Google is keeping track of what you search for. If you use certain words in your online communications, all kinds of computers around the country get a message.
The day is here, my friends, when you could walk into that grocery store and get immediately accosted by some left-wing lunatic who gets into your face and starts berating you because you're a member of the NRA... and they know because... your cellphone notified the central database that you were there; meathead who is about to sour your whole day was notified to "get" you. Maybe you're on the phone with one of your friends, talking about the upcoming election, and your cellphone suddenly explodes right after you say, "We need to make America great again."
One thing is for certain: you are no longer a person. You are an object, something to be manipulated like a piece of data. If you don't respond accordingly, someone... or some thing... is going to short-circuit your life.
This message is from the Cyber God. Enjoy your weekend.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
