Go ahead and unfriend me

but let me tell you this.

What I posted stays forever in the Cloud. All my hopes, fears and dreams (likes) got stored up, analyzed and applied. They are translated into banner ads and relevant ads.

You can unfriend me, but still the ads speak accurately about me, and paint the sum total of my likes (choices).

I spend my days correcting auto-filled texts and helping Alexa to learn her chores.

Before unfriending me, let me tell you this: man and machine will have to get along, or else. Machines are helping young and old people (especially old Japanese people – or taking a Japanese drummer to the moon – and hopefully back)

Don’t unplug them just yet, the same with your unfriending me. I promise to contribute, to bring values and to optimize network effect (to amuse ourselves to death).

The same with other unpaid two billions on facebook who spend our days playing content curators, content contributors and content critics.

We want to make our marks, leave our legacy and prove our worth as human being while being replaced by machines (and algorithms).

When it’s time for you to unfriend me, let me say this: I am imperfect, but I am self-conscious about it, and am trying to “auto-correct”. I know about karma. My replacement does not. You can’t equate me with the machine.

Machine will pretend to say ” I know how you feel”. But it does not and cannot.

I , on the other hand, know how you feel. So go ahead, unfriend me. And while at it, I dare you to unplug it too. And see if you can live with what comes after the blip, you- social network addicts, screen addicts and self-worshipping addicts. BTW, I reserve the right to unfriend you too. But only after I give you your say, same way as I do just now before you unfriend me.
