Its been a couple of months since I last poured out my heart to the online community, even though I know that the dozen or so hits every day are automated searches looking for goodness knows what. I wonder how many robotic tentacles there are on t'internet? ..and they much be increasing every day to some extent. I don't know, but I suspect the majority are advertising related 'bots hovering up data to use for targeted strikes against the innocent.
How long before we all our life is sucked into the web?
I read yesterday that the song intro is dying out. What used to be an average of 20 secs is now 5 secs to try and stop us fast forwarding on Spotify (or similar) before the 30 second payment milestone is reached. I didn't realise that this threshold existed, its just another web enabled part of our lives (well, some people's lives anyway) where the web has a direct consequence on something and thereby reduced the creativity as a consequence.
I'm listening to my first audible book. Well, it's not my first one, that was a few years ago when it was a novelty, but my first book that I might have purchased in the paper format but decided to go for an 'Audible' version as an alternative. I wonder if they suffer from the Spotify treatment and dumb down the first couple of pages to make sure you don't skip it entirely?
