My biggest challenge is communicating with non-technical family and friends. Teaching them Whatsapp was a challenge, but things like IG and FB are simple to install and log in to. I've never been able to quit them without suddenly being isolated.
I never jumped on the “using social media means I am connected” band wagon.
Still just using email. It’s web scale, and just needs UX love.
But really even that is overkill. Self hosting is too easy and cheap for me to justify cloud services privacy and just generally being in the habit of externalizing every aspect of utilitarian life.
I’m not talking webscale loads. And it could be a hub for IOT. My data streams are not Google scale. But don’t take your eye off them sticks & options. Ooo shiny
Share my data with my doctor directly over local area WiFi, by making it adhere to a specific format. No data middle men needed.
For a culture constantly climbing up its own ass about austerity in economics, we sure enjoy selling ridiculously uneconomical means of communication.
It’s almost as if it’s a purpose built emotional response but who could believe so many people would fall for an emotional mass delusion?
