Why You Are Addicted To Technology: And how to fix the ethical issues that make us suffer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798747086203)

It is beginning to come out more. Movies such as The Social Dilemma and the book from Adam Alter and Shoshana Zuboff are telling of this. But we are only talking about the symptoms; not the actual disease. This book will shine a spotlight on the disease.

Just like you I am not immune to the big platforms of Facebook, Instagram, Google, and Amazon, to just name a few. There are sophisticated, algorithmic means of why you and I are addicted. I know the problem is not in the degrading of us into political factions, or how we seem to waste more and more of our time online. They are problems, sure, but they are symptoms of the deeper disease. This book puts the illness out in the limelight, exposes what the Big Business Technologies won't show you, and helps us arrive at practical solutions to make our lives and nations better.

Sounds lofty right? I know. But I am certain that you will be convinced just like I have been.

• Cut through the things you already know are wrong and get to the root of the matter; how to change what is endemic to our Big Business technology problems.
  
• Discover multiple reasons why you are addicted to technology and how to practically alleviate it.
  
• You will know that even some "good" changes can lead to grave outcomes, which will make us live in the dystopian worlds of George Orwell and Ales Huxley.
  
• Your eyes will be opened to the legal practices that is approved by our judicial system and exploited by Big Business Technologies.
  
• Discover why you are a means to an end.
  
• Reflect on that the cat may be so far out of the digital bag that it is in Greenland, penguin sliding.
  
• And know that the spying, probing and prodding on you may be for your own very benefit.

In writing this book I hope to bring awareness to the actual issues we have today with our Social Media and Big Technology platforms. I am tired of only seeing that we talk about the problems from the central issue. We buy fire trucks in advance to put out the roaring flames if your house is burning. But we also use fewer igniting materials. We have safety-professionals annually approving known fire starters and a conscious non-burning-your-house-down lifestyle. The same is with Big Technology. But we are willingly burning our houses down while complaining that the fire trucks never arrive; not how to prevent the houses from burning down to begin with.

Because with awareness, with being informed of the actual problems, we can step towards enacting practical solutions that could make a better future. A reality that I would enjoy, but I am very certain that you also would enjoy.
