Okay. I have said a fair amount. Thank you for hearing me out. There is a lot more I could say, but I will reserve that for other portions of the website (whenever I get to those).
Let me summarise the complaints I’ve made in this section:
- Modern tech is great in some ways, but corrupt in many others.
- Computers are everywhere and in everything.
- The tech world is almost completely invisible.
- Software is a person.
- Your phone screen is a one-way mirror.
- Invisible abuse, masked by maximally attractive/addicting products is creating invisible apathy in the average user.
- Your life, your mind and your data is extremely valuable.
- You are being coaxed into opening your precious life up to complete strangers.
- Always-online culture is driven by data-hungry corporations who have no care for anything other than owning your data and your attention, with no regard to your well-being.
Okay, that’s about everything. These sentences are getting longer and I told myself I’d keep it quick.
Now let’s talk solutions.
