I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better

Science and technology under capitalism is a regressive force for violent control.

Oh I'm so sorry someone asked for an enamel pin from Amazon. Maybe next time someone asks me for a gift from somewhere I'll subject them to a purity test.

The problem is the tech is no longer addressing and solving existing problems. It is only being inserted into working systems to collect data and fees, breaking the processes.

It's clear they did not walk out.
By the time I placed my order - paying a 1% fee to the app makers in the process - I would have happily paid double for the experience of simply flipping through a menu and talking to another human being.

I understood your point completely. Yet mine somehow still zipped over your head. This is not a choice any particular individual can make. Other people make that choice for you.

OK. That makes sense.
It is more expensive (time, money) to reinvent a present technology, so it takes less effort to base further development on the currently available design. -
Thanks. From your answer I get that there are some philosophical basic knowledge which I'm missing.
If nothing else, now I have heard the name Heidegger in this context.:)
