It's almost like we need to decouple from the tech and media induced buying spree that is propped up on manufactured obsolescence. That we need sweeping reform and people need to take going Vegan (or at least cutting down meat consumption) more seriously. Air travel should not be subsidized until we have cleaner means of transport, and above all we need to return the buck back to Corporations who green washed us into ownership of their messes. Finally, we also need to be very critical about carbon credits, or emissions offsetting, which can be (and have been) incredibly corrupt. I'm also aware that this platform isn't going to look favourably on "tech slow down", as it is very hard to want to slow down or turn off the faucet.

I just am looking at two major platforms that have helped push back against the ruling class, and both got taken over and dismantled systematically

With how quickly Reddit and Twitter have destroyed their reputations, it almost feels like it's been intentional to bring down our giant public communication platforms as we enter a new age of misinformation.

Apple notoriously hinders it's own potential so it doesn't cannibalize it's own market share. They have no incentive to turn off the iPhone faucet, so why would they make a product that devours smartphones?

They are referring to Cellphones, Portable Music Players, and Wearables. None were "sexy" until Apple came along and became the trend setters.

It's going to be harder for apple to do it with VR or AR tech, but it is possible. It probably won't catch on until Gen 3-4 once the ecosystem is up to speed, consumer price drops, and the true function emerges beyond perceived hype.
