It seems that Kraftwerk presaged the horrors of the Internet and online dating with this classic. This whole album is very prescient, as it talks about the downside of the great new technology of readily available computers and the digitization of communications: alienation as we all sit behind screens, the changes to human contact, all of our information being stores in a database somewhere... Great album. Hearing this song makes me hate Coldplay even more, though. Way to rip off Kraftwerk's melody, losers.
