The computers … they know! They know! Part I
As appreciation of our hard work, The Corporation decided to treat us (and by
“us,” I mean “The Ft. Lauderdale Office Of The Corporation”) to lunch at Tap
42 [1]. Wanting to know just where Tap 42 was located, I opened up Google
Maps [2] on my smartphone and started to type in the address. I got as far as
“1411” when I noticed that the top possible option was “1411 S Andrews Ave
Ft. Lauderdale”—the address of Tap 42.
“How?” I asked my office mate and fellow cow-orker T. “How did it know?”
“Well, perhaps Google noticed a flurry of similar queries coming from the
same location,” said T.
Plausible I suppose. But I'm not sure how I feel about that. It seems …
eerily prescient and disturbing. Almost like Cyber Brother is watching over
us.
