One of the first Kindle books to receive the edit treatment was....George Orwell's 1984.
@Cyber Liberty@mystery-ak Yes, 1984, that is what I thought when I read this article.
People think we have control over what is in our house - that is not true. The government now controls our TVs. They can turn it off so it never comes on again, or they can turn it on, if it is off, to talk to us through the TV. That is 1984.
Government and law enforcement can find you if you have your phone with you. That is 1984.
I don't like phones - you get calls, stop what you are doing and answer. I turn the sound off so I won't hear it ring - then later, I'll check it to see if someone important left a message and call them if I need to.
I am like Mark Twain, who wrote "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", hated mail, would not open and read it. He said if the mail was important, the sender could come see him.
I am like Albert Einstein - he hated to make decisions about what to wear, so, he bought a bunch of suits exactly alike, all shirts alike, all shoes alike, all ties alike. No matter what he grabbed out of the closet, they were all alike, did not have to make a decision.
When I was working and even now, a hanger has all the clothes that go together to make that ensemble. I look at the hangers and take the one out I want right then. Don't have to look for individual pieces that will go together.
