The more you examine these people, the more obvious it is that they’re tech-adjacent business bros who have almost no interest in technology at all outside of being a means to control people and make absolutely ridiculous amounts of money. A lot of them clearly have no idea how things work under the surface and they don’t care.
This is why I can’t celebrate tech at this moment.
But I can tell you what I believe:
I believe technology should serve people.
I believe everyone can have fun with computers.
I believe the next generation should have the same opportunities I’ve had in technology.
I believe a diversity of people and a diversity of thinking makes tech better. I believe usability matters. I believe technology should be inclusive, that everyone should be able to participate fully and feel welcome in tech and have an equal opportunity to succeed. I believe in fairness. These are my intuitive ethics.
