How would you reorganize the ways we interact with the internet to make the world a better place? (infosec.pub)

We have access to incredible forms of technology, including near instant access to computers across the planet from devices that fit in our pockets. We seem to have organized much of the internet in a way that doesn’t benefit us and often is straight up antithetical to our wants and needs.

How would you change the ways we use software, hardware, sensors, robotics, and all the other amazing tech that’s available today to make the world a better place instead of a place where people scream at each other and get spoon fed ads and information they never asked for?

What does your tech utopia look like?

Agreed.

Not sure about current generation, but the Gen Z people in my life do seem to understand the concept but are absolutely terrified of it. Like, if they don't have cell service when we go camping, they are just super agitated like they've lost their sense of smell or something. Could just be those specific people, but that's the only sample I have to gauge on.

LMAO

Me mfw when I'm a millennial laughing and also sympathizing at the GenZers' inability to exist in the world without electronic devices and high speed bips and boops

As a parent of Gen Z, I can offer no evidence to dispute this.
