This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.
This is not the future we were promised.
Like, how about that for a tech line 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.
Listen on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
I always feel like such a fish out of water at parties.
I hate them.
Testing the water is when you try to find out what people think of something before you do it.
I think you need to test the water before suggesting this plan.
I'm not sure people will like it.
If people don't like your idea, they might pour cold water on it.
Be negative about it.
It's only ever my plans you pour cold water on.
I don't think you're being fair.
An insult.
or criticism that doesn't bother you is like water off a duck's back it just runs off they had harsh words for him but he's used to much worse so it was like water off a duck's back i don't need to test the water i know these phrases are great learn them now this is not the future we were promised like how about that for a tagline for the show From the BBC,
