There's no mention of FLOSS philosophy. Those are philosophies that emphasize control of the software and data on those devices by the users of the devices.
Even a cursory understanding of licensing of Wikipedia content is an anti-dote to the loss of ownership the author describes. If you download the current state of Wikipedia that data is yours under a very liberal license. No one can call foul and remove it from your machine.
By ignoring these important concepts the author's piece makes it sound as if digitization itself is somehow making people forget the importance of ownership.
Anyone else find this odd and disappointing?
