Hello and I'm your host and I've realized recently that I say the exact same thing on every episode intro and maybe I should change it up. So, hey, it's me. I'm Rose, I'm the host of this show. This show is Flash Forward.

Flash Forward is a show about the future. Every episode we go to a specific possible or

sometimes not so possible future scenario. We always start with a little audio field trip

into the future to check out what is going on and then we teleport back to today

to talk to experts about how that world that we just

heard might actually happen. Sometimes people ask me why I always say that at the top of

every episode that we do fiction first and then journalism?

And the answer is that in the early days of the show, when I was piloting it and I sent it to people,

if I didn't say that at the top, they thought that the whole thing was made up like all the experts were also

actors which is not the case so we do fiction first then we do journalism and

together we get a better understanding of the future got Great. Oh and today's episode starts with a little

fictional sketch about a murder so if you want to skip that head to about six

minutes into the episode. This episode, we are starting in the year 2022. Hello Monica. Do you have a moment to talk about your data? It is yours after all and just like you it's valuable. Did you know that you could make hundreds of dollars a month just from your data. Lots of
