The new american dream is the digital dream. The dream of a prosperous industrial base is gone... the dream of the scholar and the great american novel writer is gone. It's down to inhabiting a virtual reality. And that virtual space is growing ever unequal.
Corey Pein details the brazen desire to be the next tech billionaire; the endless work hours of Googlers hooked on company perks, drinks, and daily routines locked into programming life without pondering the larger world outside California. Many are plugged inside the same contracted or contingent worker lifestyle that so many now face, with no security of long-term employment, but only rolling the dice that their start-ups, apps, or tech gadgets somehow make them the next multi-millionaires. The public's adoration of tech innovation and gimmicky gadgets long covered up the inequality of the industry, the "winner takes all" stakes of monopoly capitalism, the sickening inequality of billionaire creation, and the centralization of information. The corporate online world now mirrors the corporate physical world. We need to all ponder and resist our dependency on the centralized systems enveloping us. Time for a new mantra: Decentralization or Bust!
Peace @ClumsySilverDad
Silicon Valley is full of evil satanic scum. Dont be fooled by the 'pretty picture' the popular media paints...
After following your blogs for months, we do share a lot of beliefs and decentralisation and politics are at the top of it... love your short write ups and keep up the good work
thank you ... appreciate it / peace
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
that was a wonderful write up
but i think that with the present technology
life has be made so easy and simple
on the other hand enrich those that create this technology
well its a two way thing
people invent technology to make life easy
they also enrich themselves in the process
Let's be honest here: having your own industry is great but knowing everyone's secrets and the biggest info in the world is even better. (Ex: Zuckerberg with facebook)
