I would also argue that a healthy dose of tech illiteracy (if that's what you want to call it) is precisely what we need in this situation. Tech minded people will always find a way to decide in favor of technology. They are loyal to the technology. We need people who can look at all of this from the unbiased perspective.

I’m pretty tech minded, and I fucking abhor Facebook and Google for the way they behave as a matter of business.

Don’t assume that because you might feel inclined to give tech a pass because it’s tech, that others would too.


Fair enough. I shouldn't have used the word "always".
