The big problem with all of this artificially chosen decisions crap is that machines can guess, even an eightball can be right from time to time, and if our minds or opinion stay the same and were required to stay the same (which goes against a fundamental right) then their conclusions would be acceptable, but as things are, these choices are made by a machine, incapable of thought.
I can see the helpfulness of having help remembering passwords or other redundant info. But, then we become dependant and forget, like the Rhett and Link song you'll have to hire a full-time password guy.
Maybe I have been raised too liberally because I believe my success comes from my fluidity of view. I can like one thing one day and the next it's opposite and no one would really mind. But, if I answer a question a certain way and it happens to be recorded online and ads and such are tailored according to that response, then I must be locked into that stance or any of those "brilliant" algorithms will be ill suited to me or guessing my preferences like they were set in stone.
It is like getting a tattoo on your face, once you've claimed an inadvertant prefence, you better not change your mind, computers are worse than elephants when...ewwww! Hang on!
Sorry, plot twist, totally unexpected. I hope no young minds took that in.
Somewhere all of your once preferences are recorded and sold. It left a rathar large impression on me when we returned to Michigan and I waa expecting to hear a sigh of, "It is so good to be home." Instead, I heard. It is so hard to come back when you have changed so much, but everyone tries to hold on to who you were.
"Without change something sleeps within us and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken."
The data mining that was intended to help us, is like that force that won't let us evolve, "Forgive and Forget".
Really quick, I want to add a thought that I just had. Every single advancement though it may have been intended for good, must be allowed to be used for ulterior purposes. It is Like laws, in any given situation they can be seen as limiting, but as our perception changes we understand how the law is very helpful.
