I need some insight on an #eltonjohn song lyric. In Your Song, what does the part:
"So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
You see, I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue"
...mean? Specifically the green or blue part. What's he doing that is green or blue??

The problem of sharing too much info about yourself in those innocuous looking quizzes shared on social media

“... in these informal surveys is that in doing so you may be inadvertently giving away the answers to “secret questions” that can be used to unlock access to a host of your online identities and accounts.”

"In perhaps the creepiest example, Facebook applied for (and received, last year) a patent for a tool called Techniques, for emotion detection and content delivery. It would use the camera in your phone to take pictures of you as you scroll through content. Facebook would then use facial analysis to measure how much you did or did not like the content in question, so as to determine what kind of stuff to send your way."

"The Times reports that Google's patent applications outline how audio and visual signals could be used to determine a speaker's mood or medical condition. The devices could analyze the "volume of the user's voice, detected breathing rate, crying" and could even detect a user's coughing and sneezing."
