Not a specific example, but it infuriates me more than anything when people say it doesn't matter that hardware, software and media are becoming increasingly dependent on an internet connection to operate.

People lack the foresight to care that the things they are paying for right now, wont last like similar things do from 10-20+ years ago.

Your old dvds, vhs, cds, vinyls, game consoles, tvs telephones.

The current implementations of these mediums have taken ownership away from the consumer, and nobody cares.

I anticipate a massive loss of historically pertinent hardware and information that will result in the new norm of paying for limited access to anything and everything.

Maximum consumption and profit, minimal preservation and environmental efficiency.

Nobody cares, like we are all slowly boiling frogs.

When people dismiss children's concerns. Maybe to adults is not a big deal, but to kids it does matter. I make an effort to pay attention and listen when a child tells me something.

I also feel particularly passionate about this, as felt totally dismissed by nearly every adult in my life as a kid. That shit feels so defeating and isolating. it can seriously fuck you up.

It is. Sending you an internet Hug. You matter and should have had someone who listened to you back then. ๐Ÿ’œ
