Okay. A fair amount has been said. Let’s summarise the main complaints made so far:

  • 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.

Now let’s talk solutions.
