The technology is not the problem so much as how we adopt it. We all now have the opportunity to participate in peer to peer economies. We can build community owned and operated IOT networks. We can secure and own our data like never before thanks to blockchain technology.

If we wait for the tptb to build these systems for us then we get what we deserve if we embrace change for the common good and use technology to subvert the power of centralised systems then our future will be better for it.
