RE: Dropping Facebook? Here’s what else.

in #technology7 years ago

I fully agree with everything you say! But Im so damn lazy to organize all my digital stuff properly myself... I know one day I will slap myself in the face for being so lazy on this stuff! Im not an expert but certainly not a layman. Imagine all the people that don’t understand the scale of what is going on, that don’t even know there are alternatives to OSx or MS. That there is something called unix or a terminal.

Sort:  

Im also curious what will happen when a place like steemit gets momentum and big corporations discover the benefits of abusing it somehow. This is not unrealistic right? Or am I forgetting some mechanism that would naturally counteract that?

They are already well on their way. Things like bitcoin futures show one way in which they can throw a wrench into things. Big business will try and subvert anything that threatens their models: of this you can be sure!

At this point, one has got to be pretty lazy, intellectually, to not know a bit about this stuff. Five years ago, fine .. but today, there is really very little excuse. Well, a million excuses, none of them good.
