They Are Not Data Centres

Introduction

We keep hearing about 'data centres' and the fact that they consume resources while everything around them dies. The thing is, they are there to store information about US that can then be used to make US do what they want (the owners of the 'data centres'').

What they are are collection bins that collect everything that can be used to improve the control by the owners.

Further Thoughts

The first computers were huge and monstrous, but over time they became much smaller but more powerful than their predecessors. They had jobs to do and were controlled by humans to deliver something of benefit.

However, since we have fallen for digital convenience, the computers have started harvesting everything we do to influence how we move forward, how we spend our money and what we spend it on.

Think about loyalty cards, which give you a small discount for your information; all that information is being collected so that the company can direct your buying habits.

Think about the concept of a supermarket: it overloads you with options, often causing you to spend more. We used to have shops that were butchers, grocers, hardware stores, and more, and you would go to those shops to get what you needed.

Now, when you go online, apps run slower because they load things you are not looking for, even though the apps decide you might need them.

When I search on Google, I want a list of things that satisfy my question, but Google's Gemini gives me a story about the words I put into the search, which adds time to the search. I don't want that, and I am trying to find a way to switch it off.

Conclusion

If these installations are destroying our environment so the can monitor and influence us, then they should not exist.

They are not good for humanity.
