Umberto Eco passed away last year. It was from the dust jacket of one of his books that I learned a new word. It seems he was a professor of "semiotics" at the University of Bologna.
Looking it up it means, signs and symbols. Something I was totally ignorant of and which was almost ever present. The tools of advertising and propaganda, and even our instinctive responses.
The power of voice is a tool also. Adam Schiff is very good as is joe Biden and Lindsay Graham. Obama is superb.
To illustrate, here is a young lady scamming a scammer. She is a voice expert who here adopts the computer voice of Alexa. She is also very smart.

Now that was funny. He gets $288 for each bank account he empties. Not bad for an 18 year old kid in Afghanistan. If I understood him correctly, all he needs by which to empty your bank account is a "Google Play Card number", whatever that is.
