So You Want a Computer Implant, Eh?

“Hey! Let’s have computer chips implanted in our brains! Computers are so smart, and they work so well!”

How many times have we heard that?

Sometimes I’ll post something on Facebook, and when I visit Facebook, I find that whatever illustration or video I chose for the post… has been replaced by a picture of the Bell Mountain book cover. I didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even think of it. The book cover has absolutely nothing to do with the content of the post.

All right–let’s try to post another Mahalia Jackson video. There is no reason why it shouldn’t go merrily along to Facebook with the text. Really, I don’t know what to expect. Maybe it’ll display images of a Biden rally. Or centaurs.

Only one way to find out…

Later: There seem to be no problems with the post this time. Maybe they’re trying to give me a false sense of security. “See? It works! Nothin’ wrong here.”

I still don’t want a chip in my head.
