Personally, I'm sorta "teched out". How much of these so called 'improvements' are really new ways to sell you something else, or eavesdrop on your interests and share them with the world. What used to be a devious hacker is now embraced as a business plan. Then you have to pay for programs to protect your data but some of those are doing the same thing. My google chrome on my fastest computer has gotten so slow from trying to get the content for the advertising boxes I end up closing the page before I see what I wanted to see. I just got popped a hundred bucks to renew my Norton subscription.

My smart phone is a tool to deliver more 'advertising' to me, and it has it's own set of 'protection' programs. It's an amazing piece of technology but truth is, it's a lousy phone, which is why I have it. If you don't think so, give it to your parents or grandparents to use

Radio and TV have so much advertising they're not even usable anymore. I see the internet going the same way. I've had just about enough.

Rant over.
