There are several issues in today's computing.
-If the ICT industry was purposefully following an harmful agenda, these would
-probably be their design principles: disregard for life, disregard for the
-chips, more is better, assume limitless resources, keep it controlled,
-outsource the problem, amplify ignorance, obfuscate everything, destroy
-communities, achieve monopoly
+If the information and communications technology (ICT) industry was purposefully
+following a harmful agenda, these would probably be their design principles:
-While this is rarely discussed in such a way, there are however increasingly
-well documented issues in the dominant computational cultural that all together
-help better understand how such harmful agenda can emerge explicitely or
-implicitely.
-
-* inaccessible: greenwashing, Californian ideology, pseudosimplicity, otherness
-* incompatible: vendor lock-in, proprietary
-* inefficient: bloat, maximalism, cryptocurrency, calculation factory,
- cornucopianism
-* rigid: monoculture, siliconization
-* failing: silver bullet, planned obsolescence, wishcycling, software rot
-* extractivist: attention economy, capitalism, Big Tech, neoliberalism
