Most of us are clueless
It's about Big Tech, Big Biz and the many wealthy, powerful people who have a clue. They are the ones controlling What’s Next. What’s scary is the fact that they are creating it, sometimes right in front of our faces and we don’t have a clue as to what’s going on behind the front pages of 🎥 - misinformation.
We don't have a democracy, we have a society where the interests of large corporations control economic and political decisions, corpocracy.
Information:
Overall, gathering information is a critical step in the decision-making process because it enables you to make an informed and well-considered choice based on a thorough understanding of the situation and the available options.
The crazy thing is, they need us, because we are the buyers, users, and voters, and without us, they can’t afford to innovate. The latest tools they use are: 🎥 - Algorithms, a set of instructions or a procedure that a computer or other machine follows to solve a problem or complete a task. We all use them when asking Google questions. The high level decision makers use them to get the input they need from the 🎥 - Data Mining, of stuff called 🎥 - AI (Artificial Intelligence), which they can use to decide What’s Next.
What’s interesting is that we actually pay to give them the data. We use our smartphones, tablets, computers, and lots of other devices. We pay to be connected to any device connected to WWI (World Wide Internet) and they snag the data, put it in massive data farms, and huge buildings, and gobble up bits and bytes of data like a hungry piranha fish.
Most of the time changes happen without any warning and other times it sneaks up on you like a snake. It’s a question that will live on forever, just because. This book will clarify what had to happen or be invented for us to enjoy the tools we have today. Many more technical problems need to be solved before we can employ or enjoy What’s Next.
Humankind has most likely always wanted to know that answer. So let’s stop with all the techy talk and get to the stories that may help you to learn a little about how we got to where we are now, and take a peek into the future as we imagine it.
