In an essay that I wrote in 2010 titled The iPhone Way, I ended with the following. Although then I was talking about Apple, what I describe has expanded to multiple companies in an apparent “soft” conglomerate headed by the Executive.
I find myself living in a time when people are willing to give up control (see education in the U.S.) and freedom (see airport security) because it makes their lives easier and safer. However, by allowing other people to make decisions for you, which giving control to others is really about, is giving up freedom. When one company controls the means of how you get information, will they allow access to any information that company does not want you to see?
People who are captivated by the Apple ecosystem ought to be concerned about how cozy Tim Cook has been with the Trump regime.
