I remember when the promise of technology was convenience.....somehow we used to believe we would get 'all and then some' in a convenient package......
Let's recap.... convenience.
Used to count elections by hand....took a day...
Now we count electronically.....takes a week....
Used to get the news from the paper....local editors were putting their reputation on the line and the paper cost 0.50-1. (usually read them for free in the diners)
Now....subscribe for 10/month....to get respun 'articles' reposted to thirty places.....or get ads....
Rent a movie and support a local business and maybe get a chance to run into someone and discuss the local reviews etc....
Now...pay a select few corps a 15/month for the privelege of having movies disappear from the shelves....and not have anyone to talk to....
Fuck this.....this is not convenience....not even in the eyes of blind.....
You dont have to learn math these days. Hell, dont even have to know how to look at a clock to tell time. You dont have to know what a banana or tomato used to taste like, or a real fucking hamburger. Wear a mask, get stupid, is where this world went.
