Episode notes
Power and control in technology are not evenly distributed, with many people being disempowered. Lifestyle advice or protests may not be feasible for everyone due to unequal distribution of power. Despite disparities, it's patronizing to believe that individuals in difficult positions have zero agency, as small acts by activists, authors, parents, and thinkers can make a difference. It's crucial to observe how technology impacts different lives based on power and privilege levels, and also examine regulatory systems and governance dynamics. Individuals with freedom and agency must understand others' situations and the future implications of technological advancements amidst the increasing consolidation of power.
