Technology, social media Asymmetrical Warfare [View all]

[Miigwech]

What do you think? I do believe that older Americans who were born before the tech age will understand what I am about to posit.

Example:
Walgreens, at check out, a woman (who is clearly over the age of 21, more like 61) at front of line buying assorted items, one of them being a bottle of white wine. The cashier now needs to call over the manager to verify the legal photo ID of the lady. This takes about 3 min. in total time wasting for everyone in line as well as the cashier and manager. What ever happened to common sense? What happened to human observation? I know folks are going to say well company policy so no under age folks get booze or it is just inventory control, bla,blah,blah .... (Inefficiency, bad for our corp. productivity)
NO! This is fucking putting machines in charge instead of the real humans standing there. What?? The young man at the register didn't even understand why he had to have his manager verify the purchase.

Tech (Facebook, all) has to be reigned in, I am fighting windmills but we must examine how trump continues to hold on to the vast numbers of Americans .... free speech yes, free press yes .... free propaganda pumped into the homes of Americans using our free networks and airwaves.... we really need a modern revision of the whole thing called tech cause it is broken and it is breaking human bonds. It is like people look to the social media and machines for answers instead of one another. Only folks born well before the information age will get my drift.

This is why we have "alternative facts." Do we want an "alternative election?"
