You are now where the GUI was in in 1986 or so.

  and you think corporate will wait near forty years for tech to catch up? no, they will, indeed force you to be always online, leading to absolute and total surveillance where you voluntarily add dozens of mics and cameras to every home. if you thought telescreens a'la 1984 is bad, just wait.

    It's funny that being obsessed with "corporations" feels so specifically GenX. I think because it's part of the New Left movement. In reality governments have all the power here, which is why this would be illegal in at least CA/EU/China. Another issue where this comes up is high housing costs and climate change, which are mostly caused by bad land use laws (and the profiteers are landlords, who mostly own one or two properties), but people from the New Left era will literally refuse to believe you about this because they can't accept that any bad thing on Earth could not be caused by "corporations".
