The 1st of November feels like so long ago now, since I did so much in the 2 weeks afterwards. I’m going to try and avoid doing this again as my voice started to strain afterwards and I’m fighting off a cold with meds now.
But the effect of the internet on dating in the 21st century was a good talk and thanks to the 20-30 people who came out to listen and ask questions.
I wasn’t at my best after 3 Halloween parties but Ragged talks got everyone together and did a brief introduction.
I had created a google slide set but converted it to docs as a outline, which I could refer to on my tablet. Reason for no slides? The Royal Exchange wouldn’t allow ragged talks to plug in electronic equipment incase they bring down the power system. Little frustrating but I knew this when I accepted it to be fair. I just forgot how rubbish I am without slides or not just talking from my own experience and have to refer to facts & figures.
Don’t worry it was recorded, so you will get to hear it for yourselves sooner or later…
I used a whole hour but it was full of interesting parts and some interesting answered questions. The Mafia talk was also good and learned a lot more about the most dangerous ndrangheta including how to find out more in Ambers new blog.

You familiar with the problem of Facebook making suggestions based on the contacts met via dating apps? My friend got really creeped out by this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06mtmsj
Ah yes I heard about this in a different way. So part of it is people don’t read the EULAs, but then again they don’t make it easy to read either. The permissions FB wants regarding are very questionable. This is one reason why I removed Tinder, FB and Messenger from my mobile devices.
Yes, so I find it a lot easier to just not use FB etc!
I agree but as I blogged about with Oli – http://cubicgarden.com/2015/08/26/facebook-is-the-village-campfire/
There are some good things but they are heavily outweighted by the bad in my view.
This will change for each person of course.
