Here's a quick one for you...
You look for something on a search engine and it comes up with the results based on the keywords you have written. Then auto suggestion kicks in and you start to see things you didn't actually really want. Suppose you have just recently got engaged - the next thing you see are adverts for baby clothes, toys, prams and everything you can think of, rather than wedding rings, dresses, flowers and cakes etc.
You go out in your car and you rely on your satnav - or crapnav as some people I know call them. You enter the destination you want to go to and you are lucky if it takes you from A to B without going through Z, P, T, J and R first.
In the past you bought an automated telecommunicatatatron device - or telephone as it used to be called in the olden days to make a call and speak to one another. Then someone came up with the idea of sticking a camera on there.....a camera, who would have thought of that? Then came "Apps" and before you know it, BOOM, you buy a phone to listen the radio whilst playing Angry Birds. Making a call is now a secondary requirement.
At what point are we going to "like" something on Facebook before it comes back to you with suggestions of what else you may like. Some people like knitting whereas others like porn. However it may be a little while yet before we see pictures of scantily clad sexy people dressed in your favourite knitwear.
Hmmmmm...
