We already have those internet music sites that can watch what one listens
to and suggest vaguely related music in the same genre.  I had the computer
suggest something that I missed that has been one of my very favorites,

Oh so cool.  I never told the internet that the song Dust in the Wind has a

listened to it about 100 times, and it moves me every time.

 

There should be something analogous in the consumer world, which would watch
what you buy and suggest stuff you might like.  Oh Sarah is soooo gorgeous,
