The 'Internet of Things' is accurate, to some extent, but not the way they mean it as that's where to get things (e.g. Amazon) and where people are objectified as things (i.e. social networks). The relationship to the actual Internet is near zero in terms of global sharing and that sort of real thing which was fundamental to the design of the Web from the start.
The difference is apparent between Ithaka and a social network insofar as you don't come to see me but rather the articles I write which I've said repeatedly are for thought and for purpose. I've also said repeatedly I'm a broke down beater of a bum so they hardly ever represent me except in the way they usually present what I see as agreeable thinking.
With a social network, it's the other way around and people usually won't look at you unless you look at them and the emphasis is entirely on me, me, me before it ever gets to anything anyone writes. That's a peach of way to ensure no-one ever reads your stuff but people on social networks don't typically write their own stuff anyway. You can see their plaintive way in the collections of hordes of pixel friends so someone somewhere will please come to see me, me, me.
The sociology of it is not much interesting as the national case of narcissism has been flogged into whimpering subservience but that won't stop narcissism, it won't even slow it down. We can feel superior while we do it, tho.
As to the attack on the Internet of Bling and Things, I didn't see it and I use some of those systems. Twitter was there whenever I went to it and I puddled about in Amazon to look at books without trouble. I was online during the supposed assault but saw nothing. (RT: Internet of Things believed to be targeted in massive DDoS attacks)
PayPal was also mentioned but buying things is not typically a big part of my day and the last money I spent was sending ten dollars to WIKI to support their fund drive in my wimpy way. WIKI is a fine example of why I'm offended by the effrontery of calling the rogue's gallery represented in the Internet of Bling and Things as being the actual Internet when really that's mostly just places for people to sit while they watch the Internet and its news media, WIKI, and other sharing sites.
There's no need for an extended rant because I don't feel one, it's just silly. The amusing part for me is the attackers have had their share of the Kool Aid as well since they weren't trying to take down the Rat Patrol (i.e. CNN, Fox, The Guardian, and similar news channels). If you kill those then the Internet of Bling and Things will be flying blind and they are dependent as one of the reasons I don't go around them much is incessantly simplistic political blasting as directed by those channels and it's almost ubiquitous. Welcome to the Internet of Bling and Things.
Out here we can all feel smugly superior since a primary topic today was regarding pediatricians and their thoughts regarding digital and young children. That continued further into educational practices in general regarding digital for the young. If that had been an extended diatribe with only my thoughts on the matter perhaps people would read it but they would have to be exceptional thoughts but my preference is to find exceptional thoughts from others in that kind of context.
In something which is my invention (i.e. the Rock City), it's likely clear to any reader I do not live in one, I just think it would be a great thing to do. No-one will come to read that sort of thing because of me, me, me because I'm really not in it and any visit is because the idea is interesting ... or not. If not then, poof, they're gone and, fair enough, that's the deal.
Note: the blasting by Facebook particularly has been entirely ineffective and Facebook is a large part of pushing support toward Trump, specifically because Facebook has been material in demonstrating the pornography inherent in the Clinton campaign while it assiduously disguised Clinton's primary theme as the most militarily aggressive of the bunch and represents an even bigger threat to world peace than Obama.
For the Internet of Bling and Things, we serve up an abject fail (larfs).
Trump has said specifically he plans to work with Putin to find better solutions and that rises above the utter rubbish he has spewed because Clinton has spewed so much of her own as well, she's just better at making it smell like cotton candy.
The Silas still wobbles as that was a good spank earlier. Things should be ok by morning but I doubt a deluge of articles this evening. Some vittles of a non-combative nature should work well toward that.
Note: yah, I know that's spelled 'victuals' but I like it better the way Granny Clampett said it. Neither vittles nor victuals turn up in the Apple dictionary (larfs). How will Tim Cook sell the world on Artificial Intelligence when apparently Apple can't even (cough) spell the words.
