You're spot on.
The real problem is people now have no critical thinking skills.
People don't question things like:
1. who benefits from this message?
2. what reaction is the message trying to elicit?
3. how does this message impact politics?
4, etc, etc
I have a relative who became frothing at the mouth about how France was being taken over by muslims, and that they are burning down Paris, etc.
The horror.
I showed them how the videos were doctored and how it was transit workers striking in France, etc;
But what people see on FB "Trumps" reality...
Ironic mustache and goatee Swift developer and his marketing liaison coordinator wife arrive home from another 12-hour shift at the unicorn startups they work at. Rather than call an Uber to take them to the trendy new Ethiopian-Thai fusion place again, or hang out with the LUDDITES at the grocery store, Blue Apron has a box delivered to their front door with meals in it! It's brilliant! Everyone will love it! Give us $100 million!!!
The idea that technology will find new things for everyone to do is insane...
We will need a new economic model...
Right, whereby humanity can evolve and share in the bounty of automation and robotics, so that people can live healthy and fulfilling lives free of the drudgery of "work".
They sort of explained her change in personality. I remember something happened to her in between 1 and 2. Anyway, as soon as Shephard breaks Julian Assange out of the Peruvian embassy and gets the codes to the Zion Mainframe, the ShadowBrokers will be irrelevant.
The honorable thing for the ShadowBrokers to do, would be to make this freely and openly available for all.
But the fact that they are offering this as an auction, shows us that the ShadowBrokers are just in it for the money.
Not so fast...
Once Shepard and Liara had killed the few operatives aware of the Broker's true identity, Liara will take over without anyone else in the organization suspecting a transition. Liara is well aware of the power at her disposal, as she could use the information network to start a war in ten minutes if she wanted to, but she vows to not abuse her position and to help Shepard find a way to combat the Reapers.
I would have to agree.
It really doesn't matter how hard the US tries to educate its up and coming workers, or existing workers.
The decision will continue to be made by management to off shore those jobs.
People today who want a long term career today need to look at things that can't be off shored like health care, the building trades, etc;
This study is just a rip-off of earlier research into human psychology--specifically, of all previous research into human psychology--which has proven pretty conclusively that nothing anyone says has ever changed anyone's mind about anything ever.
Yea, you make some interesting points.
Points which I brought up with a guy who wrote a book about the life of Jesus.
His response was to make allusions and inferences to supposed historical proof of his existence in Judea at that time.
It would be interesting to hear what the guy who wrote "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth" thinks about this.
I don't even have a FB account and I know that FB is an echo chamber for whatever political/social group you fall into.
I know people who are right wing Trump people and all they see on FB are things that support their viewpoint.
That goes for any political/social group in social media.
That is one of its biggest problems.
Since you appear to be one of the many Apple apologists on the site, you may find the following interesting:
I never listen to music on my Android phone. Never.
I don't get why people do that.
I want my phone to be for everything else. Browsing, apps, email, text, etc
When I want a device to listen to music when I'm on public transit, riding my bike, etc I use only one of several iPods I own.
I have always just converted anything to mp3 and then put it on my iPods.
So to me this whole discussion is interesting from my viewpoint.
If Apple ever decides the iPod gives me DRM problems(won't allow me to put mp3s on their device) I will find something else to use.
My iPods are my only Apple products.

Donald Regan was Secretary of the Treasury for the first Reagan administration, and Chief of staff for the first two years of the second Reagan administration.
How funny that in a recent thread someone was trying to claim it was a fantasy that government regulation had no effect on ISP choice, when the federal government stands in the way of even local governments being able to do what they want in their own cities.

Congratulations!
You just won the Internets!
Support staff is easily outsourced or replaced and you wind up bouncing from job to job and being cut any time your pay nears a livable level.
As an IT support contractor for 20+ years, I currently make $50,000+ per year and live in Silicon Valley.
Surely you jest.

It didn't show up in your FB news feed, right?
The problem is that this feature is on my default
That's funny because it's not on my default.

It's kinda scary to see kids around the age of 16 live a double life...
I had a double life when I was 16:
Dungeons
and
Dragons
