The âGreat Horse Manure Crisisâ of 1894.
Picture this: I have arrived at Waterloo train station, but have a little time before my first meeting of the day. The data that is held online about me reflects that I like to drink coffee in the mornings, that there is a coffee shop at Waterloo station, and that my favourite beverage is a caramel latte. It also knows that I am currently at Waterloo station (via geo-location) and have a little time before my next meeting (since I use Google calendar). As I arrive at Waterloo a notification pops up on my phone for a 20% discount on a caramel latte. I think âwhy not?â and head to the coffee store a few paces away.
