Always someone at the keyhole, eh?

As if to illustrate my point, this computer won’t give me a straight answer to the question of when this post was originally published. I’m guessing 2017, but I might be wrong. The difference between me and a “smart” device is, the device has no conception or right or wrong, true or false–in fact, no conception of anything.

Has it not yet dawned on you that The Powers That Be are increasingly stupid, inept, crass, and unreliable? I mean, come on–look who’s “governing” us!

We’re gonna wind up with Alexa as president if we don’t watch out.

That nice man on the television told Alexa to buy this for us!

Do you like being spied on by robots–your every move, your every word, reported to–well, you don’t know that, do you?

Okay, so “Alexa” is a mindless machine and does things without thinking about them because that’s what it’s been programmed to do. And isn’t that funny, tee-hee, you just got this expensive doll house that you never ordered!

But the purpose of these “smart” devices, the bottom line, is to spy on you and collect information for someone who wants either your money or your life. I make a point of not having them in my home.

Then again, they’ll know where to find me when they want to break some eggs for their socialist omelet.
