In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might promise. More
I feel this, both with computers and with video games. "Smart"phones are possibly one of the worst developments in tech, when taking into account what capitalism can and has done with them. What could be a device that is centered around helpful things like GPS, is instead focused around being addicting and keeping you glued to the digital world at all times. And even GPS has a dark side, in the location tracking that is tied up in it.
