Deja vu?

[Bernard]

Possibly, but more likely I just got confused. There is such a huge quantity of information coming at me these days.

Hey! That is MY money!! I am just finding my password .....

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

And the password is... "INURDREAMS"

[Bernard]

Ha ha! The love of Bitcoins is the root of all evil.

[Ian]

Maybe now the mining for bitcoins will divert its attention to guessing passwords?

Being de-Googleised would be a terrible shock.

It was keeping me awake at night.

A good idea. There are so many mysteries in the world (and beyond).

So those 6yo kids are now 12yo kids with world class fake news spotting ability. The Finns are a wise people.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Too young to be taught skepticism!

[Bernard]

You think so? Children may start out as innocents, but innocents are often devoured by lions in the jungle of life. It is the job of adults to teach them survival skills.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Hmmmm.. swallowing my words...

[Bernard]

6yo seems young to me, but when I was six, there seemed to be less fake news. But perhaps I was just poor at spotting it.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

That depends on your age now!

[Bernard]

It does!!!

NEW: In 2015, the Chinese government announced the “Xueliang Project,” or Sharp Eyes, a surveillance program with an ambitious goal to cover every inch of public space in the country.

As of the end of 2020, reports indicate it's getting very close.

I am not a gamer myself, but I know people who are, both children and adults. The shooting games are too fast for me anyway. I like the reference to the "real world", it is good to know that some of them are still in touch with that entity.
