Why Technology is Bad: A Call for Human-Centered Innovation

Why is tech bad?

I delve into the recurring failures of technology and the impact they have on our lives. From the recent CrowdStrike/Microsoft outage to the daily frustrations we all experience, it's clear that technology often misses the mark. But why is this happening, and more importantly, how can we change it? This article where a $6 Billion Tech Company Executive says "Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything’" hints at some of the issues I see. 

Key Takeaways:

• The Failure of Leadership: How poor leadership in tech companies prioritizes shareholder value over human well-being.
• Toxic Working Conditions: The detrimental effects of current work environments on both employees and the products they create.
• Lack of Vision: Why a compelling vision for a better future is crucial for technology to truly serve humanity.
• Personal and Collective Action: Steps we can take to support better practices and more human-centered technology.

Join me as I explore these critical issues, pick apart this article and share insights on how we can reclaim technology for the benefit of all. Let's create a world where technology enhances our lives rather than detracts from them.
