This is not the future we were promised.
Like, how about that for a tagline for the show?
From the BBC, this is The Interface, the show that explores how tech is rewiring your week and your world.
This isn't about quarterly earnings or about tech reviews.
It's about what technology is actually doing to your work and your politics, your everyday life, and all the bizarre ways people are using the internet.

Hello and welcome to NewsHour.
It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service Studios in central London.
I'm Tim Franks.
We're going to spend a fair bit of time today talking about and hearing from Ukraine, because on this day, exactly four years ago, the Russian Army, Navy and Air Force tried to seize control of all of Ukraine.
At the time, most outside observers thought that was actually rather likely, given the might and the size of the Russian military.
But Ukraine fought back.
And despite enormous battlefield losses and the misery inflicted by Russia's daily bombardments across the country, Ukraine continues to resist.
One of the striking things that has happened today has been a united statement of encouragement for Ukraine from leaders of the G7 group of countries.
Striking because that means that Donald Trump has signed on to a statement saying, we the G7 leaders reaffirm our unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its territorial integrity and its freedom, sovereignty and independence.
Among those Western leaders showing support by actually being in Kiev today was the European Commission president, Erzlavonder Lyon.
This morning we honoured your fallen at the People's Memorial in Maidan Square.
And today I'm also thinking of their comrades bravely holding the line in the trenches.
They fight for peace.
