This is not the future we were promised.
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.

That sort of moment has played out so many times during the US-Israeli war with Iran so far.
The US and Israel first launched strikes on Iran two weeks ago and the US base group human rights activists in Iran have reported over 1,800 people have been killed in Iran,
mostly civilians.
In response,
Iran has fired thousands of drones towards Israel and Gulf countries with US military bases.
Over a thousand drones were fired at the UAE in just one 24-hour period.
We learned just a short time ago that three ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz were targeted by suspected Iranian drones.
There's been another Iranian drone attack at Dubai's international airport.
We've seen attacks on oil tankers, airports, even hotels.
So in this episode, we're going to find out how Iran and the US are using drones,
how much they cost to make, and how they're changing the way the war is fought.
