Don't Underestimate the Anti-Smartphone Warriors
- nonrandomstring 3y agoI never met anyone who is "anti-smartphone". Portable internet-connected computers are a miracle of technology. On the flip-side there are many good reasons to dislike the uses of smartphones if you are: anti-gatekeeping anti-propaganda anti-surveillance anti-mental-illness anti-gaslighting anti-monoculture anti-monopoly anti-stalking anti-ewaste anti-exclusion anti-price-gouging anti-addiction anti-alienation anti-manipulation anti-dark-patterns anti-designed-obsolescence anti-vendor-malware anti-backdoors anti-dehumanisation Let's not mistake technology for toxic culture that rides on it.
