I’m still processing what’s going on in tech at the moment. I used to feel at home in that world. It used to feel incredibly creative and positive. Now it’s increasingly full of bugs, dark addicting patterns and AI slop.
I’m not sure how to change that. We need to provide a better vision for the future than what’s currently pushed by most tech companies. They have a lot of power and (e.g.) many politicians listen to them. That’s why different narratives are important.
2/ My impression: In *some* ways, tech has peaked: Do we really need to constantly surveil, measure and control every last aspect of our lives? Do we really need the constant notifications, upgrades and quickly outdated devices? More of our focus should go towards maintenance, repairability, recyclability and longevity of devices.
3/ On the other hand, a lot of exciting things happen elsewhere:
• The electrification of transportation (e-bikes, cargo bikes, small cars, etc.)
• Regenerative agriculture (which is low-tech but high-knowledge)
• Etc.
