To be honest I don't see an easy path to escaping the walled garden in our interactions with big companies and governments (banking, traveling, mainstream social networks, etc.). But at least we can build alternatives for interpersonal communication and other uses independent from big companies, like the late 90s-early 2000s Internet, and access that with free devices.
