Algorithms Got Your Number?
They’ve got mine, so I’m guessing they’ve got yours. They’re tracking our behavior, and our children’s too, if they’re on a device that goes on-line.
When the whole world is running towards a cliff,
he who is running in the opposite direction appears to
have lost his mind.
~ C.S. Lewis
- What’s Happening? For a recent discussion of the impact social media is having on our children, listen to Put Social Media in its Place just released on the Mere Fidelity podcast.
