There's a book ..called ? , The Last Days of Reality . Haven't read it but I was listening to an interview by the author . He's no fool , a silicone valley guy that worked on creating the internet . He was talking about news feeeds on FB and other sites and how it collects what you like or spend time on and then tailors what it shows you on your previous preferences .... I think everyone has searched how to hit a draw like Jason Day and then suddenly realised that they now get pop up adds selling golf clubs ... no? , ok maybe just me then ..the golf I mean not the tracking of what you look at on the net .
Cut to the chase ... he had some fairly scary things to say about the future of social media and the influence it will/could have . Yes I'm talking about feeds and not peer to peer contact ... but anyway , I would prefer in the end to go back to books for my entertainment ....always finish with a joke Arch ... o.k. ... Jennifer Aniston was asked if there could be a reboot of the hit comedy "Friends" ....she said - how could there be ? , today it would be six people sitting in a coffee shop ...all staring at their phones not talking 😝
