The problem is not technology, and neither is the solution. There's nothing that technologically innovative about aggregating and re-ordering images/hyperlinks via a PHP app.
The problem is one of power, control, informed-consent, and incentives.
- staunch 9y agoIf the problem isn't modern technology such as Facebook and smartphones, then why didn't we have this problem in the past? And if it is modern technology, then why couldn't it be the solution? As one example, why can't we create a social network that's designed to help users mitigate the negative aspects of using it?
