This episode of the freakonomics podcast, on parallels between customization in schools and radio, ends with a short story about an elderly man who is introduced to Pandora while he’s on his death bed. The upshot is that the people at Pandora were able to tell the family, based on the man’s official time of death, what song he was listening to when he died. His family played the song at his funeral.
This would be touching, except for one possibility: What if the man was trying to click ‘thumbs down’ on the song as he expired?
