Just lately I’ve been getting a number of adverts and
YouTube recommendations which are suspiciously apposite to my current state of
mind and suspected health issues. It can’t be algorithms at work because
they’re things I haven’t mentioned on the blog, in emails, anywhere else online,
or even expressed verbally to anybody in any circumstance whatsoever. And there
are too many of them to countenance the possibility that’s it’s all down to
coincidence.
So how does my computer know what I’m thinking and should I be disturbed by the fact? No, let’s re-phrase that: I find this not only mysterious, but actually quite disturbing.
