Big Guns Of Big Tech
Franklin Foer wrote a book called, World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech. I read it last week and want to share a few thoughts about it. If you use Facebook, Google, or Amazon (ok, so like everybody), then you might wanna read this. Continue reading Big Guns Of Big Tech
Let Facebook Age Out
Facebook is ubiquitous. If you need to find someone, chances are they’re on Facebook. And most people are so hooked on it that they’d never delete their account. Would you? If not, can we keep the next generation off it? I think that’s a key part of ending Facebook’s ubiquity. This Gen On Current generations (Boomers, Gen X, Millennials) use social media a lot – … Continue reading Let Facebook Age Out
Single Versus Multi Purpose Tech

The Busy Summer of 2018
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged here. No excuses, really. I’m cyclical like that I guess. But I had a big change back in May; I left the company I worked for to rejoin my prior employer. And my new workload was jam packed with things to do. So my summer was super busy! I didn’t have much time or energy to focus on … Continue reading The Busy Summer of 2018

Several weeks ago, I found myself once again mindlessly scrolling the Facebook Newsfeed with my thumb, glancing blankly at each passing post. I had opened the app for a specific reason but somehow got distracted, forgetting what I was there for. I’m sure you’ve heard of this habitual phenomenon before; it happens often.
