What people want from technology is usually pretty clear...
To be a bit more concrete, we're asking:
- After spending thousands of years building libraries of donated books, why do governments try to tear them down when they happen spontaneously online?
- Why can't I give money directly to every musician I like, instead of paying Apple or Spotify and leaving virtually nothing in the pockets of the artists?
- Why does the US pay so much for cellphone service? And for slow internet?
- How is it possible that singing "Happy Birthday" in public is still illegal, and why does anyone stand by these laws?
- Will every kid growing up in every developing country have access to every book ever made, as soon as they get a smartphone? Or will the books cost $12, an impossible expense for a poor kid?
- Why have we all been sitting idly while the movie and music lobbyists have been systematically advancing legislation that strips freedoms, blocks innovation, and exclusively advances Hollywood's financial agenda?
