Episode 207: Take Two, Phase One

Play Now!

Is your phone listening to what you say when you aren't using it to actually make calls? That's what it seems everyone is wondering; but how to find out if it is? I ponder one possible answer to that question in this Episode 207: Take Two, Phase One.

In this episode, I read from: my computer's quickie dictionary; Antonio Garciá Martínez's book, Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley; and Shoshana Zuboff's book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight For a Human Future At The New Frontier of Power.

I play a bit of a song appropriately called "Why Try?" by Dumbo Gets Mad toward the end. KMFDM backs Shoshana Zuboff in the intro, and I close with Julie and Rolf and the Campfire Gang doing "Over the Rainbow".

    I can think of a third context in which one might search for "nurse" and related terms...

      I've been known to nurse a beer, sure; but I'm not sure what product offerings might flow my way as a result.

      Do you have a better example?

      Jim it's porn. Porn exists. It's a whole industry. Nurses are popular.
      Or so I'm told...
