It's Monday, isn't it? Completely forgot I had classes today. Someone take my Netflix and change the password.

Anyone else watched Black Mirror? It's great if you need to be more paranoid about technology and the world around you. Someone's probably watching you through your computer camera right now. Or we're all on a TV show and don't know it.

Although that would explain a lot.

I can arrange the password change if you like, but the person I would ask to do that may object since this is a discussion of the show with the episode that had robot bees.

I have never seen this show. I assure you, I only know of the robot bees through osmosis rather than an over-taxed data plan on an over powered tablet computer and a very long airplane flight where I was stuck in coach.

I guess I could just keep watching. I am almost done with the latest season. Not sure when the last time I slept was though.

Right that's.... convincing? I suppose I should let you keep thinking that?

The robot bees were good. The ones that focus on technology aren't as fun as the ones that focus on humanity and how stupid it is, though.

I like the ones that do both most. I was not at all fond of the episode with the virtual reality video game. It had implications I did not enjoy.

I might have concentrated a little harder on my homework instead of paying full attention to that one. And the one where the bloke has some implant in his eye or something like that and anyways when his girlfriend found out she was pregnant they broke up and she blocked him so they couldn't actually see each other. It was all weird and I had to stop watching for a bit.

I do wonder what sort of things these show creators are thinking and then I remember that part of my weekly routine is to have all the sim cards on my internet capable devices switched for technological reasons I do not entirely comprehend.

As long as they don't start bringing magic into things. That might be a little too close to uncanny valley for me

[xp_artie]

it's ok because the real world is worse than anything theyve put in that show yet

I don't know, didn't the US elect a cartoon character?

Although we don't have chips in our brains yet

Now I'm depressed.

Or more depressed. Depends on who you ask.
