I always find it amazing how many nowadays people have become seriously enslaved by technology.
Tech is tools .. that's what they forget. I work in this field with the purpose of getting people to understand but with the focus on adapting technology to people's needs. Therefore let me repeat this:
After a recent post with some clearly unique tags, I was just a little bored and such followed the 'next blog' links for some distraction. What Google 'offered' me by their algorithms were one Muslim website after another. Interesting though how many of these exist. With background in market research, it is always interesting what happens all around.
With my latest post, Google quickly 'found out' that I am interested in Christian blogs. It guides me from one such blog to another. Funny. Google must 'think' that once someone is interested in one topic, there is no other interest in a complex being as a human is. Next, following their very own assumptions and guesses, they try to 'guide'.
What they reveal is much more their very own mono-dimensional view on life and things.
No better are the marketing algorithms of Ebay, still one of the advanced tech leaders in their field. Amazon is taboo, anyway ... hope most people have found this out by now. As what we support with our actions is what we create on this nice little planet. Still, professionalism in this field is poor and gets poorer with the blindness of the new kids which are dumped for serving but without seeing the connections.
You might ask why then I have chosen a Google.blogspot then?
Be sure, I was thinking this over for a very long time before I did.
The question we got to ask ourselves all the time and each day:
Will we USE Information, Technology in general but especially Information technology or will
With kindest regards from with_In/with_Out the Matrix,
reMinding of that WE create it ;)
Faithfully yours,

Technology is tool, not purpose!

As mono-dimensional as any reptile brains when they try to work without the rest.

The 'market' though - which means we, the idiots - has lots of power.
Just that people do not get it and use this 'tool'.
And each day the don't use, they loose ...

WE get USED by IT?
It is more than time to Enable our_self.
Disabled are too many.
