If you think like that, then no problems should be solved by tech because there are completely viable non-tech solutions:
Uber: just hail a taxi
Amazon: just visit your local bookshops
netflix: Renting DVDs is perfectly fine.
Spotify: all the music you need is on AM/FM.
Instagram: just meet up with friends in person
Zoom: Conduct face-to-face meetings
Zillow: Work with a real estate agent
Yelp: Ask locals for restaurant or service recommendations
Doordash: Call the restaurant directly for takeout or delivery, or cook at home.
- fargle 3y agonetflix does rent physical DVDs. Ending around next month.
