I certainly hope that some NSA bastard has to listen to it.
Machines parse the recordings. A human doesn't get to peruse the index/ToC of every call one has ever participated in until robots put up a flag.
Most people do not realize--at all--that modern computing was invented in the
1800s. Everything a TRS-80 could do, could be done by steam pistons and vacuum tubes a hundred years prior, albeit with wildly gross inefficiency.
When the transistor was developed in the Fifties, it was then possible to get those same systems working on a much more affordable and ubiquitous scale. But
before the hardware existed to run it, software to manage every aspect of human life was already being deliberated, designed, authored, & tested.Before the technology to manufacture millions of touchscreens went online, decades of research and development went into preparing
technological gates* for that inevitable future.
The reader is encouraged to draw their own conclusions from this point forward. Namaste.
