Every other technical innovation has made the average person's life worse. Why would this one be any different?
I'm rather enjoying my electricity, my antibiotics, my vaccines against respiratory viruses, my access to unlimited information and pornography, My ability to drive cars that are pretty reliable, my ability to travel anywhere in the world at any time at doable prices, technology has treated us pretty well.
I agree. I think tech progression has been mostly beneficial, but I could do without DRM and centralized social media.
You are on lemmy most likely posting it on a Linux device using Firefox.
I am not sure what to say except people continue to make the decision that they would like a bit of convenience and pay for it with money or data vs free as in free bear and deal with the lack of support.
