I imagine my experience with technology “innovation” over the last 20-25 years mirrors past generations’ love affair with booming industry and commerce.
It starts with skepticism, enters a phase of slow adoption, and after the average consumer has accepted an idea and is convinced of its benefits, becomes accustomed to and dependent on its normalization. Then the industry cranks up the exploitation to eleven, and anyone who grows to hate it is stuck in the banal evil of it all.
