That would be pretty funny and creepy. Similar to a father being told his teen daughter was pregnant by Target.

That was a great article.

And for me it was the moment I realized that society had entered new territory it would never return from.

Yet with today's eyes it seems almost quaint.

Edit: I should add, it was the original nytimes article that I remember being profound, not the forbes summary that is linked above.
