Following the lead of Netflix and it's use of AI to determine what people like, Neilson announced that they are cutting 328 jobs at their technology and innovation center in Oldsmar, Florida, today. I work a stone's throw from that facility.

 

Another 396 jobs are being eliminated at the company’s video diary checking center in North Venice, and they plan on closing that facility in early 2019.

 

The day of the paper diaries are gone. Big brother knows what you watch just by monitoring the internet and your "Smart" TVs.

 

Hang on. The future is going to be a bumpy ride.

I just got a call 2 weeks ago to see if we'd fill out a paper diary for one week in April.

Typical for a large corporation.
