I imagine that even if tech has a strong history of conscientious objectors, you could argue the industry needs more because:
* Tech is incredibly, incredibly important and powerful, in its implications and effects on politics, society, geopolitics, everything
* It seems plausible there's far more going on than anyone knows about
- lone_haxx0r 8y agoI agree with your main thesis, but also: It's time that we start teaching kids at school about technology. And I mean actual technology, not how to make a pretty slides presentation on Powerpoint/libreOffice. I mean the importance of your data, how companies exploit it, what is a CPU, what is RAM, what is an operating system, what is security, cryptography, domain names, how ISPs work, etc.
- whalabi 8y agoAgree, kinda. E.g. rather than how domain names work, I'd rather people learn about privacy in the internet era. Rather than say, RAM, I'd rather people learn about how social media is addictive and why, etc. All of the above would be good too :)
