I feel like a minority in this modern society but I love the smartphone. I love the wealth of knowledge accessible instantly, I enjoy texting my friends across the globe, and I like buying stuff while walking down the street. Why would I want to give this up? I don't want to give it up; I want to make it better, I want to make it private, I want to make it decentralized. It's not perfect but it's fucking awesome. While obviously I'm not in the minority because so many people have smart phones but im willing to admit my love for the fuckers.
Relationships with technology are heavily dependent on who's in charge. You see "ubiquitous computing" and focus on global communication, the knowledge of The Oracle, and ultimate consumer convenience. Others don't know how to turn off instant notifications for Facebook, never got their email client configured right and don't know where the emoji keyboard lives. We've discussed dark design before - interfaces designed to fuck you over. I'd say that the majority of apps consumers deal with regularly are dark designs. As such, they are victims. For those who are technologically savvy enough to see through the subterfuge, shutting Facebook the hell up is 30 seconds of searching followed by months of tranquility. We've been living the revenge of the nerds for 20+ years now. If you're allowing Facebook to victimize you you're not yet savvy enough to reclaim your life.
