steev hisei feel like lately in my daily mundane life legit communication is just lost in a sea of #noise/spam. Is it that i'm getting old and no longer have the energy or will to sort through the #datasmog that's always been there or has it really gotten so much worse, in the last, i dunno, 5 years or so? I feel like I can't get simple things accomplished because it's so hard to find the email threads that represent those digital errands.Like simple customer support stuff about orders or bills or events or whatnot, just drowned in a sea of attempts to #scam and trick me. trick us all.
What science fiction author or filmmaker predicted this kind of #end to our #civilization? That we'd just be swamped in our own digital trash and eventually unable to cope. Seems like a #PKD story but I cant recall which or whether he really wrote something like that... I keep thinking of the part in #Ubik where the protagonist is trapped in his apartment because he can't afford to pay the autonomous pay-per-use door out. This is what's happening but even worse, because the problem is not even connected to any physical situation. Machines and systems just idiotically bewildering us all to death.
