Let’s Get Better at Demanding Better from Tech
Maybe we could get better at demanding better from Gun Manufacturers, Fossil Fuel and Chemical Companies while we’re at it?<p>The tech community has to get better at avoiding navel gazing. Hyperbolizing threats from tech, some theoretical and far off, while ignoring serious threats that affect he lives people everyday.<p>The majority of the real, actual suffering going on right now has little to do with tech. It’s the people turner into refugees thanks to geopolitics, it’s the DACA kids afraid ICE is just around the corner to break up their family, it’s the women being systemically assaulted, it’s the malnourished and maleducated kids among America’s poor. I wish half the attention spent on net neutrality or vertical search was targeted at lower items of the hierarchy of needs.
