Everybody privately shit-talks everybody. The phone always listens to it and records it. A viral hack that turns all this shit-talking into texts. Everybody in the world suddenly gets a thousand shit-talking texts from their family, friends and associates. Society dissolves.
Yr probably right. Society would go on as usual because the bottom line is, ultimately, unaffected.
But, squishy moods on a mass scale constitute the weather of politics and commerce. From that angle, big things might happen.
Consider the general stress of a population : X. When x goes up we vote and shop thusly. That’s a known thing.
And x would definitely go up here.So such a hackyvirus could be a tool in shifting a close election or selling an unpopular product.
(Not to mention the effect on phone sales, attitudes towards privacy, the eternally eroding nuclear family…)
So that’s a thing to think about.
That’s not what they said or implied, and nor is what follows a reasonable conclusion
I’m convinced you’re just a sophist who loves the act of arguing itself for its own sake, without any care for truth, only appearing insightful and logical
You offer so many accusations. It’s hard to keep track.
No, I’ve pretty consistently called you a fart huffing egomaniac, or similar. But hey, I guess you just couldn’t resist yet another deflection.
