I would challenge more people to read "four arguments for the elimination of television" by Jerry Mander. As I'm reading this article, something felt eerily familiar to his description of 8 steps to autocracy: 1. Eliminate personal knowledge. 2. Eliminate points of comparison to the past. 3. Separate people from each other. 4. Unify experience, especially encouraging mental experience at the expense of sensory experience. //Where this article stands out to me. 5. Occupy the mind. 6. Encourage drug use. 7. Centralize knowledge and information. 8. Redefine happiness and the meaning of life in terms of new and increasingly unrooted philosophy. We can't give any company root access to our brains. Our planet is sick and we need to start to distance ourselves to think critically on solving these problems without them taking over our lives. While this would be more accessible than say a chromebook or a laptop, we have to remember those who create the devices also get to dictate the experiences on them.
