Pre-emptive text is taking over our lives! There - statement made. I have put it out there. Not only is my mobile phone ganging up on my by deciding that my name is actually Smogma. How is Smogma actually a word? Is smogma an air-borne pollutant from an active volcano? If not, I beg to differ with my phone that Smogma should be a word before Romina.
So this brings me to my latest issue with my other
favourite piece of technology - the computer! So in one of the 1000 updates that my computer seems to download on a regular basis, it automatically updated my web browser and somehow I have this artificial intelligence Google browser which pre-empts my search questions. I admit, that up until now this alien intelligence has worked a treat. It all fell apart when I wanted to search a podcast which I download religiously and listen to on the train giggling and receiving strange looks from fellow travellers who think I am the strange one – um look in the mirror peeps! So I am searching the podcast ‘Is it just me?’ to see if they have an email address so I can email them and say how much I love the podcast. Unlike my latest plight with Channel 9 which has no such address for receiving ‘constructive criticism’ from their audience over their programming decisions! Huh! How dare they remove ‘Dance you ass off’ after one episode? I committed not just one hour to that show on the Tuesday night, but I was entranced enough to watch it again on the replay that following weekend. I can’t believe it didn’t rate ‘its ass off’!
Ok, sidetracked, back to my Google searching. So I
type, in my frenetic typing which usually misspells everything, what I think is ‘Is it just me’ and with the fast pace of my fingers I just press enter and somehow my search from the pre-emptive text gods at Google is ‘is Lady Gaga a man?’ Hmmm???? Where did this go wrong? Look I am the first one to say that I think Lady Gaga needs to wear pants more often, but really? A man? I just didn’t pick it! But then I thought Courtney Act was a good looking woman!
