Using Technology to Deepen Democracy, Using Democracy to Ensure Technology Benefits Us All
I think most of what passes for "Tech" design should be disregarded
and most of what is accepted as "Tech" promotion should be prosecuted.
Most "Tech" marketing & design peddles the truly terrible lie that we are approaching the Star Trek future rather than the feudal past.
We have grown so accustomed to being lied to by advertising that we now tend to imitate advertising even when we lie to ourselves.
Social media is the consummation of false advertising.
