…..if someone claims that his forebearers were oppressed, there will be no evidence to back up his contention; no songs, no relics, statues or books.
Someone will have succeeded in erasing all evidence of the crime. Who would do such a thing?------------------

Mike Judge is one of the greatest minds of our time, and sorely unappreciated.

Idiocracy should be in everybody's collection, I have come to call what I see around me as the "Idiocracy effect"...

Not only that, the only history will be probably digital, streamable, changeable on a whim.

Hello! Is this Giovanni's Pizza?
No sir, it's Google Pizza.
I must have dialed a wrong number. Sorry.
No sir, Google bought Giovanni's Pizza last month.
OK. I would like to order a pizza.
Do you want your usual, sir?
My usual? You know me?
According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meat balls on a thick crust.
OK! That's what I want.
May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten free thin crust?
What? I detest vegetables.
Your cholesterol is not good, sir.
How the hell do you know?
Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.
Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetable pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.
Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you only purchased a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once, at Walgreen Drugs, 4 months ago.
I bought more from another drugstore.
That doesn't show on your credit card statement
I paid in cash.
But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.
I have other sources of cash.
That doesn't show on your last tax return unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law.
WHAT THE HELL?
I'm sorry, sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.
Enough already! I'm sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I'm going to an island without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.
I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago.

Yeah, I tell the kids to watch out for Alexa, the Amazon recorder that's listening all the time.
First they give me the eye roll and then they tell me they don't worry because they can shut her off any time they want.
Then I give them the eye roll.
