Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.
At first the internet was like the wild west. Free, wide open spaces, with lots of exploring (minus the slaughter of indigenous people).
Then the capitalists got hold of all the land and made it like everywhere else. Restricted, controlled, expensive.
