Considering how much of our existence is online these days, it seems like denying people the means to participate is almost like denying their right to exist.
I’d like to see a world where everyone has the capability to shape this digital space in a fair and accessible manner.
I’d counter, but realistically just add to your sentiment by vouching for having non-online alternatives for most of our needs. Banking and government’s services in my country are on the edge of going full web/sim-driven, and I don’t like it that way. If I happen to get the delivery from my post office, they default to sms confirmation, and I’m not sure if I can get my parcel just by showing my ID card.
Internet access should be a human right, just as avoiding it should.
True. Not all people can or want to be slaved to a portable telephone device.
You have to pay with your phone app, and they refuse to take cash? Screw that.
You only have menus if you scan a QR code? Fuck them.
Oh, your manual is now just a QR code? Awesome. /s
