Technology is not ours unless we make it ourself...

Not saying all technology must be what you make but to realise that you are just a user of most things... and that as a long curve comes back to the same point of dependency even if the tech lasts years... if we don't consider coming out of that or making it ourself then we it a bad cycle...

and Technology is also changing like planned obsolescence is for parts and non-interchangeable components (like all cars should be since many are exactly the same in many ways but the oil filter screw is ' it's own type " or printers that can't scan without ink in it (yes they are amazingly creative and one day you are going to be locked out)

So after a while all these mini-games really add up where eventually the long string from the source means you see all of the devices (kinda moving into surveillance) comes from America and pumped from false monopoly money / bad investment - controlled by leaders that are simply idiots (as most are paid to be or step up to take the hit)... so without changing this ALL about politics (not to hijack my own post lol) BUT.... IT IS MOSTLY POLITICAL WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHO AND WHERE AND WHAT AND THE MATERIALS ETC.
If you can't MAKE IT or REPLACE IT then you need to rely on a million people in a chain all following a few leaders.
And then you NEED MONEY ETC <--- the most political material in the world MONEY deveoped for fuelling wars since 'back in the day' and we even in our own lifetime's (so yes it ties in a whole supply chain and government allowing and disallowing things... and somehow this tech is allowed full of cameras etc... which you could use *but not all in*...
Just consider the metals, factories, trucks, companies running the shit-show at all quite bad (and then what people could be doing is more-human improvement rather than almost machine-only and giving it to uneducated users taking videos of everyone).

All these simple things 'just' to get you a monitor is something we are now learning about after we get it and standardise it... It's also installed in other people's countries at the same time so this is a consideration we don't even see perhaps... 1st world countries using a weaker currency that then depends on American tech... and actually keeps them poor... a bad game eventually not making people happy even with 20 iphones)

I say America or The States here as that kind of Hollywood core of everything and industry... more than it's people (even though it is that kind of mentality of 'kill everything' or 'my land and territory' wars that is part of this when it comes down to it...
Mixed feelings are probably here about me saying America but The States probably is better. there's not much doubt it's mostly from that kind of producer and well American politics and people aren't rated too highly I guess and in my life isn't for it's antics all over the world including installing companies and big air bases in the craziest of places they can't even speak the language of.

Aaanyway consider that the tech isn't yourself much like cloud computing is just remote storage which is made available to you or brought to you... but the human politics still stays the same (people can't talk to each other or build something else more than 'more tech' sometimes.

My aim is to get us all to make friends so we're not divided by others u$ing their way$.

I reserve right to edit this and redraft.... thoughts are welcome.

The initial thought was " Technology is not ours unless we make it ourself... " and then expanded behind a CW so there is some respect given there it's not easy and we do have to consider dependency and politics... which seems since day 1 is what this is all about to help 'them' make whatever they want while allowing us to use what uses us or helps them if we have it...
