Technology Trick or Treat

Imagine ... a  cottage built of gingerbread, cakes, and candy, with window panes of clear sugar.

Just like Hansel and Gretel the treats of technology are too much to resist and we are lured inside the tech house to be fattened up and eaten.


"There is no such thing as a free lunch" when we are invited in for dinner we might just find ourselves on the menu - if its free then you are probably the product ... currently its your data that is being sold but who knows how far this might go.

Shiny new tech lures us like a donkey on a treadmill chasing a carrot ... the treat is always just out of reach - that is the trick of tech.

Drawn to tech like moths to a flame we can try to stay way from the light but its not at all easy to go against the crowd as they sleepwalk to the beat of the Neuromancer in their heads.

Wake up and #staywoke see the treats for what they are and take care ... use them to your advantage as best you can. Hansel and Gretel were lucky to get out alive ... if you go into the gingerbread house you may not be so lucky but just like the witch in the story the greed of tech capitalists might just be their undoing and if we are able to share the witch's wealth we might still live happily ever after.
