There's already a budding anti-tech movement. People destroy robots. There is a mistrust between users and services. This is definitely not the answer HN would like, but this can grow into a full-blown anti-tech counter-culture where people don't use smart phones or laptops, and instead pickup less invasive devices like the lite phone 2, nokias, pay-as-you-go flip phones, etc. There's a large dissent towards office work now, and developers themselves opt to be freelancers. There have been many privacy breaches which is a cause of people putting too much of their personal information in the hands of private organizations. It's inevitable people will get tired of social media. The technology industry will still exist, but there are literally hundreds of promising technologies coming along. I guess what I'm trying to say is they're no use to a regular person, and they'll be silo'd off into their own sector. Tech is not going to take over. It will only and always supplement humans, as it should.
- zapperdapper 8y agoI think you got a lot right here. Don't get me wrong, I love my online banking as much as the next guy, but a lot of technology being produced has a very negative impact - look at social media.
