Wanda had a habit of talking aloud to herself.
Today Wanda wondered about something bizarre; without having conversations with friends, she suddenly received twenty texts, offering advice, opinions, and information about friends’ experiences.
“How strange that these texts are in response to what I’m worried about, but I haven’t shared in public,” she said.
Wanda seriously thought her mind had been hijacked.
She was oblivious to the fact that yesterday’s iOS and Amazon updates defaulted to Alexa and Siri spewing Wanda’s privately-spoken thoughts directly onto her social media platforms.
More texts: “Worry less; wonder more. And reprogram your devices.”
