People who don't //really// understand how technology has been and can be misused, over-relied on to do our own work/thinking, and (mistakenly) trusted are doomed to be enslaved by it.

As someone who has worked in IT at a technical level since the 80s, I don't use social media, don't use any phone "apps" or "assistants", don't hold cell phones next to my head, don't scan QR codes, will never drive or ride in an electric car, and I use cash as much as possible.

I will NEVER put a machine in my own body. I would rather die.

Great article!

I'm old enough to remember when my grandma had something her doctor called *sugar diabetes*.

Did you know that sugar companies paid to have the name changed and remove the word sugar? 🤯
