There's always a sales pitch to the effect that we are "better off" because of all the ostensible "innovations and benefits" being foisted upon us.
Just this morning I wasted a good 20 minutes trying to figure out how to shut OFF some push technology newsfeed my cell provider thinks I "should" want, whenever I unlock my phone.
No. No thanks. I just want to make a call, not be force-indoctrinated into some official narrative.
And yes, I got it turned off... but it's 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
