Stories of ThinkTech

JUST ANOTHER WAY TO WATCH THINKTECH Smart TVs, including Samsung, give you still another way to watch YouTube and thus ThinkTech.   Try it on your smart TV and you will see.     It’s not just access to YouTube, it’s smart access to YouTube, and that means a world of YouTube content organized in a way that reflects and responds to your viewing history and tastes.   And it’s easy to use and find and watch.   It often knows what you want to watch before you do.

TWITTER, A CASUALTY OF MUSK Up till now ThinkTech has been on Twitter .   It was pretty much going in the right direction particularly when it barred Donald Trump.   But Elon Musk's frenetic purchase of Twitter and what he has done since then has changed all that. What Musk has done even in the past few days give us great concern.   He’s permitted outrageous lies and conspiracy theories on Twitter, pulled moderation systems, and has himself tweeted hateful lies, appalling conspiracy theories and calls for violence, motivated by a bizarre schadenfreude against Paul Pelosi, misinforming and spreading hate among millions of Americans, and encouraging others to do the same.
