Not a #Bot a #writer #poet #teacher #Editor How did we get to such a mesh of seemingly disparate info & sources(albeit most 2ndary/tertiary) 
70 Of course use secondary & tertiary sources as until,& even when #investigation over that's what's most #public ly available➡️#BacktoFront
71 ➡️This #THREAD started with me saying "Oh the geezers are hard at it grafting media, it's always great to have easy scapegoats"& posting-
72/ this short #article publ. #today in #Ireland on independent.ie accessed via msn "North Korean cyber gangs.." a.msn.com/01/en-ie/AAt9g… …
73/ A quote'ish, not verbatim: it's the links and the methods of the micro-targeting that show collusion. Remember 'links' = financial too
74/Trace to N.Korea or wherever culpable,fine, try 2 ensure it happens much less,fine. Put all data, centralised, 1 'ownership'; NO #mirror
77/ If we're going to do it, it has to be kinds of different to existing methodologies, better, & FULLY accountable: irishexaminer.com/business/techn…
78/ So when you look at who shakes hands with who/what on a merely cursory glance you find that SmartTech247, that of the 1st article, uses-
79/a range of other companies,in other places, lets see, Palo Alto Networks finance.yahoo.com/quote/PANW/ See embed Ad target 4 Ireland on access🤔

85/This is a conversation all who may use/benefit from such systems cld be looking at again, conversation, information, what shapes society?
86/Premise that the so-called 'internet-of-things' is either necessary or inevitable practically/functionally/jobs-wise is a #LogicalFallacy
87/ Waves of change development in all Sciences, incl. elec engineering, yes, a need to have everything computerised, no. #Market #Gadget
88/For those concerned with sec. &/ surveillance issues to promote such an anachronism here(as seen by its abject failure in US & elsewhere)
89/is a bit worrying.If we're so good at it all,why aren't we thinking further than this in ways which will become more actually generative?
90/There're many companies, many jobs, more to develop. How we choose to do that will form a significant part of basis of our future society
91/This is a real concern for some of these people in #cyber & #IT their futures already lie in Tech, they may achieve making things better.
92/ End of #Thread Thanks to everyone who has 'listened' (quite a lot more than I might have thought beforehand) =+*]
