It is crazy how bad it is. (I have a backlog of talks to do though ... and that is not even my real job, sigh!!) It even extends to the physical world. The consensus praises good Apple design, but they designed phones so that they would slip out of your hand or any non-perfectly-
flat surface and then shatter on the ground. Which is why it was not a mistake that you would see shattered iPhone screens everywhere ... it is what they designed, and why everyone has to put a case covering up their beautiful slippery iPhone body.
Apparently they felt it was more important for it to feel like a precious gemstone than be a functional device, and judging by sales maybe they were right ... in a sense they design for the flaws in the human personality.
I'm a fan of your particular flavor of tech pessimism to a degree that surprises even me
I think of myself as optimistic about technology in the future, I'm just realistic about what is going on right now. Almost everyone is cargo-culting and running off momentum generated in the past. Once this momentum runs out and it all grinds to a halt, we'll realize what has
been going on and start fixing things. But it may take a long time, and it may not happen predominantly in the USA, depending on whether or not we fix our social issues. That said, I have been to a lot of places at this point, and I'm not sure I can think of anywhere that would
be *better* than the USA at recovering from this. So I guess it's possible that we just won't. Which is, I suppose, the worrisome part.
