- enos_feedler 4y agoNo disrespect to anything on this list, but I would wager most of this stuff won't matter to the average person. I can't see how my life will change with respect to anything of these. I just don't think we can speak to these as the next big thing. For example: iPhone was clearly a big thing.

- Sargos 4y ago> Nigerian here, also an opponent of the present government, but why would a crackdown on anonymous SIM cards be an issue for debate ? It's a very authoritarian move to threaten privacy and prevent people having free access to the internet. It hurts people at a minimum and causes the deaths of the most vulnerable in society at worst. Definitely up for debate and probably not one the Nigerian government can win in a fair debate.
- moralestapia 4y ago>Separation of Church & State in a post-Roe world Tell me you're an American without telling me you're an American. While I don't diminish the impact it could have over there, that's irrelevant to the daily lives of literally the rest of the world.
