What the hell are we going to do with all the humans who can’t even use a
smart phone?

Glad I’m in good company. Sometimes the narcissistic labels are a little
bit “edged.” Not comfortable to have certain conversations with the people
this will simply happen to like you pointed out.

I’d like to think that the minority will be people that choose to have
those difficult discussions. You obviously know where this is headed.

Thanks for sharing. I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees this.

Third world countries are literally non-salvageable. What will we do with
most of the world’s population when we deem them mentally incapable of
providing for themselves in the digital age? How will our and their future
co-exist? Is it possible? Or will it be like speaking to a dog or a rodent?

These questions won’t be asked in public. Not by big tech anyway. They
revel in social inclusion and avoid difficult but very important questions
about our future.

Imagine Bill Gates acknowledging the fact that he plans on sterilizing
Africa for the greater good of the digital divide? It won’t happen. (Don’t
take this hypothetical literally, not sure what Gates actually is doing)
