RE: There’s A Fine Line Between Helpful And Creepy...

Sens8 was one of my all time favorite shows. It started pretty slow but then once it got going, it was totally awesome. The concept was pretty amazing. I think they ran into issues with all of the locations and the cost of filming which is part of the reason it got cancelled. Thankfully the fans were able to speak loud enough and they gave it a proper ending. There are apps that request permissions to your microphone on your phone and I think that is where Google gets it's creeper skills from.

I can't even imagine what production costs were for that series. I'm sure the Wachoskis had enough pull in Hollywood to keep it up longer than most could have. It's intriguing to think about and has sparked some ideas for some short stories of my own. Ahh, I didn't even think about them listening. That has to be it!

Did you hear about the bald eagle that took down a state drone recently in Michigan?

Yeah, it was all over the news. Like $950 lost somewhere in lake Michigan I think it was. Too funny. We get that all the time where someone mentions something and suddenly we start getting ads for it. If you have an Android phone you can see a of the apps that have access to your microphone. As a test you should talk about something you would never think of buying or searching for and see if you start getting ads. My favorite part of Sens8 is when they first started realizing they could "take over" each other's bodies. So epic.

I guess it's pretty common for those birds of prey to take them down. Something to remember if I ever get a drone. : ) I think I'll try that test. Maybe I'll post the results in next week "Musings". We're just about done with the series now, the plot is building now. They could have stretched this out so much longer than two seasons.

Yes, for sure. I look forward to reading that post about your experiment!
