Temptation is the issue here. In the biblical sense. A demon telling me an attractive story. A story that draws me in and keeps me dreaming. And before I know it I'm dreaming all the time.
The storytelling demon is the phone. Always reminding me of the story. Periodically tapping me on the shoulder. "Hey hey look at this! This is important!"
- jasec57322 4y agoThis for me is the point the authour intends. Having a device capable of communication practically anywhere, at any time, is something I happily carry. Being required to carry an apple/google tracking device, constantly analysing & pimping you out, simply so you can buy an airline ticket, a train ticket, etc - is something I do begrudgingly. Just as there ought to be a law accepting cash, there ought to be a law mandating that any online payments for things such as airline or train tickets should be accessible via a standard HTML web browser, firefox/safari/chrome. That way I could carry a linux phone without being worried if I'd get stuck at a border because I couldn't install some android app (and no, it won't run emulated because of some nonsensical 'security' measures).
