Oh don't kid yourself. They'll just spend the money elsewhere.

You do realize they started it as a joke, right? They aren't serious and nothing is going to happen. I wish it would, though. Let the government take out a bunch of dummies

"...And the ‘variable ratio’ rats? The ones who’s lever worked like a roll of the dice? They will never stop. Your two-and-a-half-hour undergraduate psychology class will not be long enough for you to wait around to see them give up pulling that lever. Desperately trying, again and again, for a food pellet that isn’t coming. Even though they’re not hungry.
This probably sounds familiar to you. You’ve seen this before. You’ve seen the ranks of slot machines at casinos. The relationship of operant conditioning and intermittent reinforcement to human behaviour is pretty well known. It’s not just the rats that fall for this, and you know it.
Have you ever found yourself wondering why Facebook sucks now?"

I've been reading Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, and having read only about 200 pages of the 700 pages I am already convinced that Google is pure evil. That's right GoogleBot, you heard me! I sent these to a friend of mine who's writing a masters thesis about digital techonology in education and thought some of you might be interested to read these random excerps too (or maybe not). Here they are anyways:
The last one is bad quality, but it has some really interesting information about the central role Google had in Obama's presidential campaigns, basically doing pretty much the same thing as Cambridge Analytica for Trump.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday and there was a slight discussion about this generation of kids being born and where social media is at right now. One of the guests hypothesized that the pendulum would swing the other way for those raised by millennial parents. He was guessing that this coming generation will pretty much be "over" social media and handheld devices, and he was pretty much basing this all on the idea that in the last few years, the negative consequences of a life lived online are starting to be more and more exposed. But then again, the matrix already has us all.
