I've come to a hypothesis that technology's purpose is to gently erode the concept of "self" Exactly, although it's being done in a roundabout and non-obvious way. There are millions of tech folks, all (in my mind) honestly trying to create technology to empower folks to do things they've never done before. But the beauty of tech is generalization, creating cookie-cutter choices. Everything we do, and in ever way we interact with tech, it's more and more leading us down pre-canned behavioral pathways. Even when completely unintended, the place where tech is taking us unless we drastically change our ways is something like the commodification of the species. It's a freaking horror show. The Borg are going to go from sci-fi super villains to an accurate description of our great-grandkids in just a generation. Amazing. Will the last human please go outside and do something unique?
