In the face of all this worry about the future of iStripper and the launch of NFTs with blockchains, I see that some or even many have formed an "emotional" bond with the app. Well done iStripper!😆
Remember the cell phone when it first appeared in the 90s:
At the very beginning: people thought it was ridiculous
Then: they found it disturbing
And finally: they found it indispensable.
And for each revolution, it's always the same trifecta:
RIDICULOUS => DANGEROUS => OBVIOUS 😐
For my part, I don't see how currently cryptocurrency and NFTs are indispensable.
Moreover it spends a lot of energy, if I understood correctly for mining. So it contributes to global warming, and to the various climatic disorders.
Not more essential for my part the cell phones, and all the social networks of this world.
Just to see what is happening in the USA and elsewhere with social networks, and all the disinformation, if this is progress I have doubts.
Besides, I don't have any cell phone, and I'm better off for it. I ***** to see people staring at their cell phones every 5 minutes, instead of talking to people, who are around them in real life.
There are false needs that have been created in technology, to make some companies rich, and there are not only advantages. When I see all the programmed obsolescence of devices, the pollution that it generates. People lining up to be the first to have the new generation of iphone, while their device is still good. Yes, it's RIDICULOUS and DANGEROUS for the planet, and us by the same token who are the residents.
If this continues, our young people will spend more time in a virtual universe, which suits them, than in real life, which involves its share of difficulties, but which is necessary to build oneself.
When I watch a certain ex-American president, (and it's not only him), misusing social networks and telling lies, without shame or embarrassment, I can't help but think that it's EVIDENT that someone RIDICULOUS, can with the help of certain technologies become DANGEROUS.
Technology allows economic crimes on a larger scale, without much risk for some crooks to get caught. We saw it here in Canada with the CPU, a governmental aid that was supposed to help people with loss of income with the pandemic. This aid did not benefit some people who needed it, and went into the pockets of these crooks. Much of this was due to identity theft. We have experienced this here in Quebec because of computer negligence of financial institutions, one in particular, which I will not name. This institution had neglected the fact that someone inside an employee could copy data and sell them to unscrupulous people, for "peanuts" moreover.
Since then, we don't know if one day or another, we will live an identity theft, and be defrauded, because personal information was found on the dark Web. Information that should be protected by these institutions.
Nice business sometimes progress.
