DM07 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I hope Zuckerberg tells Prayut to shove his facebook- plans, where the sun don't shine! But with the sleazebag Zuckerberg is, I highly doubt it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the cranky comments in this thread, a lot of old dears among the farang fraternity are having difficulty coping with the modern world as well as with the government and pine for the old days when things were simpler before the computer thingee and the Internet whatchamacallit.

Relax you will survive ( hopefully) Quote When the Stockton-Darlington Railway opened in 1825, people feared the worst: the human body, surely, wasn't made to travel at incredible speeds of 30 miles per hour. People genuinely believed that going that quickly would kill you in gruesome ways, such as your body melting. Quote The telephone wasn't greeted with universal enthusiasm. Some elderly people feared that touching it would give them electric shocks, while men worried that their wives would waste too much time gossiping. In Sweden, preachers said the phone was the instrument of the Devil and phone lines were stolen or sabotaged; others feared that the lines were conduits for evil spirits. The invention of telesales would prove them right. http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/12-technologies-that-scared-the-world-senseless-1249053 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand Bill Gates has given him (Zuckerberg) a box to present to the General, containing a set of side cutting pliers and several large rolls of insulating tape. The box has the logo: 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDfella Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The result will be 'The founder of FaceBook understands Thailand's position.' On an even more cynical, although I have no objections or class issues to 'ordinary' people meeting the PM or leaders of any country, I do just wonder why the PM wants to give Mark Zuckerberg an audience. Hmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
