In this essay Donald Norman explains how many big conglomerates control how and when we are able to use their technology. Even service providers can dictate how and where you are able to use your devices. Corporate greed and profits drive many corporations to start exploiting weaknesses within the internet to control exclusivity of access. His future involved becoming free of individual creativity or controlling information and ideas.
I again picked this essay because of the area it fell into Technology and Society. I found this essay to be the most interesting considering the restrictions and constriction my own service provider gives me. I myself can see how things in the future are heading towards a more exclusive internet world. Many big conglomerates are motivated by profits and greed choking out individual ideas while tightly exploiting and controlling the internet as I see it today.
