Shows how much Google knows about you.

That is cool. Did you grow up there?

lumberjim · 06-02-2015, 02:03 PM

yeah. I must have put her address in as home when i was living there.

lumberjim · 06-02-2015, 02:07 PM

yup. My dad built it in 1977. It has a great big deck on the back. All the football games were played in that front yard. That was before that driveway cut in where the LHS is parked was there, and the two trees. The shrub that's behind the magnolia was one end zone, the driveway was the other. We all hung out on the deck at night in the summer or in the driveway, looking up at the stars. There are no street lights, and it's on top of a hill, so you got a great view of the milkyway. With the day's heat radiating off of the blacktop.... good times.

I do NOT want Google, or anyone else for that matter, knowing the places I go. Or for what.

No.

That was just a little bit cool, though. And a little bit scary.

glatt · 06-02-2015, 02:29 PM

Perfect yard for football.

It's both cool and spooky when I happen to glance at my phone in the morning before heading off to work, and Google tells me the fastest way without me even asking. It really wants me to take the bus to the metro, and I'm sure it's faster, but then I wouldn't be walkin' man.

Clodfobble · 06-03-2015, 01:26 PM

Yeah, Mr. Clod's phone sometimes alerts him ahead of time when there's traffic, even if he didn't ask. As in, at 6:10 a notification will pop up saying something to the effect of, "we know you normally head home at 6:30, but you will want to leave at 6:15 today if you don't want to be late."

lumberjim · 06-03-2015, 04:24 PM

That's useful science right there

I was trying to decide, this morning, whether or not life is actually better for everyone since the advent of computers and their resultant technologies.

Actually better, not "I like it more" better. What have we lost and what have we gained? Are the gains substantive or are they decorative?

Computers are part of a remarkable set of steps forward that, after a century, have led to the end of hunger, the doubling of our life spans, and the end of a back-breaking lifestyle in which 50% of the people were needed to be farmers and labor 14 hours a day. Some say the advances have now led to a general pause in the amount of global warfare going on, a trend which, if it continues, ends centuries upon centuries of savagery, death, and man's inhumanity to man.

If you are not happy now, that is your choice.
