Interesting segment on an MSNBC news show last night about the effect Facebook could have on such a large number of Americans. Worldwide, there are as many Facebook users as there are Christians. Only, Facebook users don't just look at Facebook on Sunday morning. They look at it probably every single day, at least once a day. And they are getting "targeted ads" and suggested posts and memes.
And if they look (click on) at one ad, they get more like it, and if they use the clickable drop down menu, they can get Facebook to stop showing them ads about certain things, or from certain companies, if they are offensive or not relevant.
So, I think where this is all headed is soon there will be a group of people who, combined, number the same as all the Christians in the world, just to give you an idea of the scope of it, who look at something at least once a day and see only those things that are "relevant to" them or that they have deemed not offensive, or that interest them particularly, and, most likely, nothing else.
Think how happy they will be. And how stupid.
