Should access to computers and the internet be a basic human right? - Lemmings.world

Considering how much of our existence is online these days, it seems like denying people the means to participate is almost like denying their right to exist. I’d like to see a world where everyone has the capability to shape this digital space in a fair and accessible manner.

Yes it should be a basic human right.

But with that said, it shouldn’t be a basic human expectation. There should always be simpler alternatives to basic daily needs, not everyone has access to the internet, nor does everyone even have the mentality to fully utilize modern technology.

Also, fuck touchscreens in cars. /rant

Car touch screens are the dumbest thing ever lol. “You can’t use your phone behind the wheel, so we mounted this giant phone to your car!”

I remember when the Tesla Model 3 was pretty new, there was a guy who got pulled over and filmed the interaction. The cop told him he needed to put away the iPad. He kinda chuckled, thinking the cop was joking. But the cop was serious. So he had to explain to the cop that the giant-ass screen was built into the car.

When the Model 3 was new the Model S had already been released for 5 years. Smells fishy

Model S has never been very common. Model 3 was not just cheaper but massively scaling up production so it’s quite plausible that was the first time that cop encountered one
