At some point, there was this shift where the technology was no longer being designed to benefit the user, but to benefit the creator. The problem is that the creators are now trillion-dollar multi-national organizations who also lobby against my wellbeing and safety in areas of rulemaking and regulation. So now I am fine foregoing the “technology” whenever I can.
Yeah. It’s about as childish as it gets. People need cars to get to work and that’s about all there is to it in the US. If people don’t want cars, then why don’t they do something productive like design better public transit and lobby for better city setups which don’t require vehicle transportation, or something along those lines? But because it’s hard to do things that make a difference, they instead sit there and complain about “fuck cars” which does nobody any good.
