Just a lighthearted post while we are waiting for the awesome Axanar Epic to be released.
Pulled out some old notes. Just research with my thoughts about what I called "social currency might be like"
Back then my online social life was Yahoo, Pogo, my Space where you always found these poster "better than thou" types and positive supportive social posters. Always made me wonder if somebody in their mother's basement kept score.
If this Cyber God liked your overall posts maybe good things happened to you. Perhaps they allow you to win a lotto, a credit card fee to good to pass up, Your home is included to a special tax and utility free zone. All of a sudden your timing was perfect no matter what you did.
If the Cyber God didn't like the things you posted a tax audit comes in the mail, your stock holdings all take a nosedive.a toll gate goes up outside your driveway Without rhyme or reason you always find yourself on the wrong end of everything.
It might have been 3-4 years ago Facebook had this thing where they pigeonholed you politically. I logged onto it surprised that they added up all my contents and scored me highly Republican. So how did they come up with that when I find a lot of fault with both major parties?
So,Is Big Brother Blind?
It was good for a laugh and "If you watch hard enough for anything, you'll find it everywhere" ( possible moral of the story)
I thought about it again today, wondered if it would be a good fictional short story and so I googled the subject and came up with an article that started like this:
"In 2020, China will fully roll out its controversial
social credit score. Under the system, both financial behaviors like “frivolous spending” and bad behaviors like lighting up in smoke-free zones can result in stiff consequences. Penalties include loss of employment and educational opportunities, as well as transportation restrictions. Those with high scores get perks, like discounts on utility bills and faster application processes to travel abroad."
NOW WHERE IS OUR MOVIE?
