Everything these days seems to be either about personalization or psychometric profiling. I suppose that by now you have heard about the little problem that Facebook has been having the past few weeks.

Sometimes we picture the past in a way that it didn’t exist. We romanticize some past points in ways that make us nostalgic for things that never existed or happened. There is even a book by Stephanie Coontz called “The Way We Never Were” that dissects decades of our […]
