I tend to save amusing memes, whether or not I repost it now seems they’re a ticking bomb should I travel. But it’s all in the cloud anyway, and especially at risk now that Tim Cook has destroyed any claim of Apple’s fierce defense of our privacy. I have to wonder what Jobs would be saying. In a way, to me anyway the development and rise of the smartphone is analogous to the Manhattan Project. If I mention this most people think I’m nuts, maybe true, but while The Bomb can wipe out the world in 20 minutes, in 20 years the damage to civilization wrought by “connectivity “ has been far more insidious. And arguably just as destructive. I’m reminded of the scene in “Repo Man” when the insane scientist talks about the horror of the neutron bomb:
“You ever hear of the neutron bomb? Destroys people - leaves buildings standing. Fits in a suitcase. It's so small, no one knows it's there until - BLAMMO. Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. So immoral, working on the thing can drive you mad. That's what happened to this friend of mine. So he had a lobotomy. Now he's well again.”
