A most interesting and education podcast today. There's a number of complexities with Google's MUM. One is that in the history of the world many times the general consensus or mass population belief of various topics eventually got proven to be incorrect. Examples could be the colonisation / invasion/ discovery of Australia re Captain Cook, the Earth is flat, the existence of Aliens (which is more of an open and balanced conversation now opposed to say the 1900's), is God real, cures for Cancer and other diseases, how many planets there are in the solar system, and so it goes on.. Over the past week I thought my journalism and media scribes were getting censored again, but this wasn't the case. It was just a glitch in the Google Matrix Of Things, which is still a concern. Reminds me of Netflix movie current screening, 'Blackhat' staring Australian Chris Hemsworth, that I watched this week and it almost seemed more like a documentary! People, systems and webcode are not perfect and people and corporations can become corrupted or get bugs, so this means things can break. Hopefully Google is back to 100 percent now or at least close. Back up work and spread risk are a few of the reminder lessons in this. It would be interesting to get a quote on the matters by Elon Musk, Kim Dotcom and a few other leading business masterminds in and around the digital business space. Thanks again.
