You know what I’m talking about. What I want to make very clear is that I think it’s most reasonably referred to as a “what” and an “it” rather than a “who.” It doesn’t operate like a person; a human. It’s never been part of our social fabric, as you can see by reading Lucky Loser. It’s not the only one of its type, but it’s currently the most prominent. We have the language to deal with this sort of apparition: refer to it as an “it.”
About Me
I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. I shouldn’t be surprised, but she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.
Check out my other blog, Techlimitics, where I’m grappling with the nature of simplicity.
