At this point I'm convinced that there's something deeply wrong with how our society treats technology.

Ruining Android for everyone to try to maybe help some rather technologically-hopeless groups of people is the wrong solution. It's unsustainable in the long run. Also, the last thing this world needs right now is even more centralization of power. Especially around yet another US company. (1/2)

@driftini the problem is that some people don't want to be taught about some things. They just don't care enough.

No one forced us to learn the things we know about computers. We were eagerly curious to find it all out on our own.

But elderly people are forced to own a smartphone. They never wanted one. They were just fine without one. But then society demanded that they have one, so they bought one, and have to live with that burden.
