The banality of it all gets to me. There have been incredible advances in computer technology during the last couple of decades. Previously unimaginable storage capacity at dirt-cheap prices, no-SQL databases for flexible structures, redundant servers dispersed geographically, use of Bayesian inference to infer and predict usage patterns, automatic synchronization of preferences and data between devices, collection and collating of usage patterns across time and space, and many other solutions to long-standing logical and technical problems.
And which of the world's many pressing problems is first to benefit from these dazzling new capabilities? The sale of ads for penile enhancement. I weep for the future.
