We have access to incredible forms of technology, including near instant access to computers across the planet from devices that fit in our pockets. We seem to have organized much of the internet in a way that doesn’t benefit us and often is straight up antithetical to our wants and needs.
How would you change the ways we use software, hardware, sensors, robotics, and all the other amazing tech that’s available today to make the world a better place instead of a place where people scream at each other and get spoon fed ads and information they never asked for?
What does your tech utopia look like?
You really need to break up Google, Amazon, Meta, and the other gigantic internet companies. There’s a relatively small collections of massive companies that have too much sway over how the internet works and are ubiquitous enough to facilitate mass surveillance and micromanaging what content people are exposed to. The reason the internet doesn’t benefit us and is antithetical to our wants and needs is because it’s setup to bring value to the companies’ shareholders.
