Is BIG TECH owning Your DIGITAL WORLD?
Knowing why you are looking at the digital information presented to you, is very important. If you want to remain in control of your REAL LIFE, and not be manipulated by BIG TECH!
Well! BIG TECH is providing it all?
BIG TECH is providing all the infrastructure that this DIGITAL WORLD runs on.
All the internet systems are being provided by the BIG TECH and communication’s companies. All the Data storage, and all the computing power, needed to stream entertainment to you. House all the Gaming and Education systems from which you learn and spend all your time part taking in these activities.
Over the last 40 years the unprecedented drive has been to make computer technologies talk and easily communicate with each other, so they can be useful to human kind.
This process was called “intra-operability”. This was all the manufacturers of computer systems, growing as big as possible and to make themselves indispensable to governments and Commercial industries.
Once this intra-operability had matured it was labelled and the Internet was born. Then the public could be let loose on the internet, and it was branded as “the WEB”.
Now all of this was carried out with the altruistic intent to inform and improve human kind. Giving us the choice to find what we needed to, and when we wanted it.
However! As with all BIG THINGS, commercial forces push them to make it pay for itself and drive profits with paid adverts, moving these information systems, to the next level. Which is fed by More profit, and BIG TECH is born.
Once this stage takes hold, the altruistic intent is coerced and moved towards paid content/adverts. This removes any natural influences that become part of the decision making mechanisms, the selection of this content was by choosing quality information and it is of interest, or of value to people. Promoting less choice and more paid content/adverts, selected and chosen by monetary processes only. This weakens the natural process of humans choosing the subject and quality of information.
BIG TECH is taking over.
Not true? Big tech has always been in control. It’s just that, it has had enough of a say in where you place your attention. That it can steer your attention towards, what it believes are BIG TECHs interests.
Taking Back Your choices?
Being adequately informed as to where the information has come from is your greatest factor in understanding why you may have been led, to this information. Some of the BIG TECH companies have been successfully accrediting the sources of the information, but this has been to stop themselves being put in a position of being prosecuted under copyright laws or now in the European Union, under data protection laws.
AI is the new Brand BUZZ word?
AI is being used to describe all kinds of machine learning systems. These systems are using a large collection of fixed data sources (called Data set’s), to predict an average outcomes.
However modern life is more than a binary choice of yes or no. Each situation can have more than one outcome! Multiple options may be needed to look at a complex collection process. Applying a simplistic binary choice could have far reaching possibilities for human kind. A good example of this can be found in the 1983 film War games, where a gaming system was used to predict the outcome of a cold war situation.
The point being, using a game based on conflict, only results in a conflict resolution, when a peaceful resolution was needed to maintain the peace, the systems were looking at the wrong solution and only gave an output of conflict.
There are many points in history where the most profitable choice was not the right human choice.
World wars being the most significant of these choices, were oil profit and world power, was place over the human cost of people’s lives.
Choosing the Best DIGITAL WORLD for Human's & BIG TECH!
We need BIG TECH to make these choice solutions based on what is best for human kind, and not the acquisition of profit, and share owner returns, BIG TECH needs to make wise choices, from the best solutions for human kind, so as to not miss out on the best possible progress.
