So much new technology is being introduced to end user on a daily basis. I have been wondering more and more if 95% of this 'new' tech is really beneficial to end user. Here are some examples I had in mind:

*Various automated and linked services introduced to end user require the end user to give up so much of his/her identifiable information in order to access the service .... which means, end users are required to disclose (& eventually) leave traces of their private information all over the places.

*Linked services have made it so easy for crooks to easily cause havoc to millions of people from a comfort of their homes and a single key, 'enter'.

*Two prices in grocery stores. Those with store's discount cards get the discounts.

There are many many other examples where end user is forced to enroll in some of these automated activities in order to receive service and the application of the automation may not necessarily benefit end user at all.

There are several examples of debatable 'new tech auto & linked services' which make me wonder, if end user would gladly enroll after applying cost-benefit analysis. I also wonder if the new discoveries are merely there to support rapid business operations at end user's expense. If this is the case, where does that leave the user whom the 'business' relies on 100%? Is technology neglecting end user?

Curious to know your thoughts on this.

Given today's human migration, you need a plan. Those whom we grew up with and know us the best (through whom we could also potentially meet more people with similar interests) have migrated to new territories! Unless you are in the limelight and are exposed more that a regular person, you definitely need a plan on how to approach and get noticed!
