Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 11, 2021

That may not be possible. I’m in the intermission of The Tomorrow War, and it’s painful.

ping! “How would you rate your movie snacks on a scale of 1 to 5?”

Why are they asking?

Did the mind tap implant fail again?

… is this an actual thing? I’ve reached the point where I can’t tell any more.

Well at least it’s not an Ad.

You wanted “mod cons” you two? You got ’em!

I want to Publix the other day when I got home my phone pinged and asked me “How was your experience at Publix?” It is a real thing.

Your phone knows everything u do.

When we go out to eat we are asked “how was your experience at _____ was?” I think it’s the GPS on the phone? I just ignore it. Look something up on the internet, then later go to FB . get all adds from what you looked up or watched on You tube.

Welcome to the technology age Arlo.

Turn off notifications

Market research: “Please tell us how we can make our offerings even more bland!”

this is why I have a junk pc, with a voip phone #, and numerous bogus emails. If the grocery store wants my number for their discount card no problem. you want to send me thousands of emails again no problems. Just once every few months delete all the garbage.

If that ever happens to me, I cancel that service. Fair warning to you streaming executives out there…..

My issue is that it appears we’re being constantly interrupted by, or fighting with, technology. And I’m a technologist. Plus, most people have no clue … wait a second, somebody’s texting me.

Well, if I am still watching the movie, I don’t want to be interrupted. If I turned it off, I really didn’t like it. But I turn off notifications for most things anyway.
