In the beginning, it looked like a dull book about arithmetic. or algebra, or geometry. or calculus, or whatever - MORE NUMBERS EVERY DAY, written by.Micael Dahlen and Helge Thorbj/ornsen, and translated into English from Swedish or Norwegian by Paul Norlen. But as I kept reading, it got better, or worse . . . depends.
With the internet we are surrounded by more and more numbers, including some things that shouldn't be counted. There are a few sly remarks about quantifying their sex lives, which made me wonder what their wives thought about this.
The internet's obsession about counting, and thus rating, even extends to surveys about satisfaction before the customer even receives the product. Most of the examples the authors used came from Instagram posts, but they could just as well have been about facebook. Well, I'm tired of facebook counting my steps, every time I turn around, whether I turned clockwise or counterclockwise, etc., etc., etc.
Social media, I'm outta here.
