I’ve been feeling this. Still not quite sure why. But I think a good reason is I’m starting to see newer technologies come out as veiled hypotheses on how to extract the most time or money out of the user, not so much as things that actually provide real, long-term value to people.

I’m not actively trying to be a luddite or think I need to stick it to “the man”. But I can’t shake the feeling that many technologies coming out simply don’t care enough about humans to warrant actually being used. That’s not to disregard side projects and such. Most of the time the creation out of those projects is out of pure intentions. A lot of those same intentions get thrown out the window when money and company survival and thrown in.
