The Attention Economy is the Addiction Economy: A Call for Emerging Tech for Good

quote [ Iā€™m not writing this to bum you out. I am here to take action on the potential abuses of the next wave of technology. Consumer hardware has already shipped for VR, AR, and biosensors that measure markers of the stress, activity, health and emotional state of a human. ]

For the 3 (are we up to 4?) of you that share my interests in the topic. It's nice to see others finally becoming concerned about how vulnerable we are to influence and the intrusiveness of upcoming technology.

Crystal Beasley also runs the Embodied Reality youtube channel I'm quite fond of, which covers a number of topics often glossed over by people as they chalk up human behavior to whatever their current nom du jour for human exceptionalism happens to be.
