> Convenience should not be the end-all goal
For who? Even as a tech savvy person, that is ALL I want. I used to tinker around with home projects, nowadays I want things that work with no fuss. I don't want to play IT support desk for my family, I want their stuff to work.
Convenience is exactly what people want who don't understand technology but want to use it for benefit.
- danuker 5y agoI like some privacy to go with the convenience. I want to watch TV, not the other way round.
- notyourwork 5y agoYou're conflating to separate topics. My desire to have things just work has nothing to do with privacy.
- hoppyhoppy2 5y agoYou did just say that convenience is ALL you want... and many of the most convenient tech products these days (e.g. Kindles, Ring doorbells, Facebook, internet-connected TVs, smartphone apps, etc) are not so great for people who value privacy. If we lived in an world where the most convenient products also protected users' privacy then maybe we wouldn't be having this quibble.
