marvelous machines these talking information globes are be they google or ALEXA..... -- the ones google donated have become a big item in the adult day care project with judy and janine.. i ddon't know teh details of how--- but it is possible to show teh goldfish in australia and have someone ask "how fast does a goldfish swim"- not something either judy or janine can have on the tip of their tongue... and tehi magic box has the answer... or rather-- AN -- answer--which is WHAT WAS NEEDED... ANY ANSWER.
sooooo... i asked how much does a senator make in salary and benefits a year- alexa just told me $18,000-- have big trouble with that answer....that is hardly enough to cover their traffic tickets.... but it was an answer...
thus illustrating one of the big problems-- believing answers retrieved from teh internet...
it may work beautifully in an adult day care center to have teh answer " how fast does a bat fly?" getting any answer is teh critical part... whether the answer is correct- is a whole new ball game.
i think i heard this discussed on teh news... something about ? facebook? being required to test the validity of political ads on facebook?
now there is a perfect example of a question with only one answer.." are you telling the truth?"
as far as i can remember there were two topics about which one was expected to be untruthful- sex and politics.. that was always teh norm... and people were very suspect of any answers in either of those topics... to try and improve the PERCENTAQGE OF TRUTH TELLING IN EITHER CASE GOES AGAINST WHAT WAS AN ACCEPTED NORM 50 YEARS AGO. I PUT EITHER LEGALITY IN A SITUATION OF "LOST CAUSE"
AND WHY PROTECT JUST THE POLITITANS FROM LIES ON FACEBOOK....-- IT HAPPENS TO ANYONE ON FACEBOOK EVEN ME ! -- I CAN NOT REM,EMBER WHO TOLD ME THIS BUT... A PIECE OF PAPER WILL HOLD STILL AND YOU CAN WRITE ANYTHING ON IT.
USTABEE-- TEH WORLD HAD PEOPLE CALLED EDITORS---- WHO'S PLACE IN THE WORLD WAS TO CHECK TEH VALIDITY OF PUBLISHED WORKS--- OR STATE THE WORK HAD NOT BEEN VERIFIED.. SO STOP AND THINK...
they don't even put "STOP LOOK LISTEN" on the railroad crossings any more-- JUST A BELL WITH "GOOD LUCK"
GOOD LUCK TO MR FACEBOOK... HE HAS A BIG PROBLEM TRYING TO SOLVE THAT ONE.
distrusting the news is a terrible thing for any organization/country-- so i wish mr facebook well... but i am worried.
slanted news is slanted news... but facts are facts...
***
back to my camera moving -- tehre were many reasons/facts-- one of the biggest is .. i want to see teh whole line of donkey feeder -- that - among other things-- lets me see if mo has flipped teh hay bags out of reach of teh smaller donkeys... that is not a reason to call me at 2am...
but sometimes i can get it fixed during the day.
***
moving on...
betsy tells me i am to speak at rotary club lunch today.
and bring dogs.
i am not disillusioned... tehy really want to see the dogs... not me.
