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.

Hello and welcome to News Hour.
It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service studios in central London.
I'm Tim Franks.
It is day three of the US and Israel's war against Iran.
And this is a conflict which is intensifying and spreading.
Tehran and locations around the country have again been rocked by explosions.
As pictures came in of rubble strewn streets in the Iranian capital,
of civilians running and smoke choking the air,
the Iranian military was also launching pressure attacks on Israel and targets across the Gulf.
Indeed, just within the last four minutes,
the US Central Command have put out an update saying that six US service members have now been killed in action.
