I recently downloaded an app for my IPhone that seems a lot like magic; it allows me to “tell” it what sorts of music I like, and then it scouts out similar selections and plays them–apparently forever, or at least until I turn it off. (Clearly, my IPhone knows me better than my mother did, and as creepy as that is when you think about it, it isn’t the point of this post.)
A jaundiced look at the world we live in.
