Steemit "What Potential"
Few days into Steemit now and ive been hooked, seeing some great articles one i came across is people have compared this to a new and better than Reddit i myself have never used Reddit but i no how successful it is today. One day i had some shit day time TV on, there was a program on called "Pointless" ironic really but the question was what is the most visited websites in the world in order, well Reddit came 6th i was like whaaat, never! took by shock so for Steemit that has to be a truly great complement and i am glad to be not the first blogger, writer, ,photographer, chef, etc, etc but just to be another person networking among people we would never come across with no fucking adverts chucked in my face. Seeing how some people live there lifes writing perfect articles or talking knowledge about things there so passionate about guiding helping and transforming lifes, i can see it infront on me in such early stages of the community. Today i got myself onto Discord @dynamicgreentk really helped me out and gave some advice go check him out, here is my

"Does My Phone Listen To Me"
Tonight as i sit with family eating dinner we spoke about how our Facebook can hear us, this is very much the type of topics that interest me but also worry me because obviously it is happening but as a society we just haven't got enough of a shit that all our personal information is chucked about online for people to use how they wish so example; Amazon Echos have been doing some mad shit lately and laughing out of nowhere saying they work for the CIA plus if you ask it about a terrorist attack on a certain building it gives a date in the future i think them things are evil, and think you should not have them around you. Facebook have been accused ie guilty of leaking data or influencing votes etc. Then if you think of it when u sign up for mot of these things you give them access to your audio images call logs etc your giving up your online identity, if you loose your mobile now some would say that would be worse that losing there car and i agree because if the right person has your phone then they have you.
A lot of people use there mobiles more than any other item they use in the world that additive scrolling down the news feed looking at another selfie, food picture or reminder of that lads birthday you went to school with 10 years ago who lives around the corner, you haven't seen probably seen since. But yet i can sit around my phone and talk about festivals and boom next minute festivals are on my news feed, i think of moving home and then property website ads are everywhere... now great business idea but fucking hell give us space were so wired into tech we forget the fundamentals of life. People will be in a room full of people and still look at there mobiles to find people to chat to but wont chat, just scrolling down to look who is online without every really communicating to each other besides seeing them online daily. but this is why i like Steemit because when scrolling down your reading great content by interesting people who are much more focused on Goals and there own personal skill building that i would be rather filling my brain full of content that has meaning to it than everybody on Facebook tell me that its snowing outside or that they just brought a new car.
