You’re right, there definitely have been positive innovations—my writing may have been a bit too strong-winded there. I suppose it’s the side effects of these that ruin it for me: the advertising, smartphone games, in-app purchases—the useless.
I obviously ended up in some kind of a middle ground: while I use latest computers for work and infrequent video gaming, my phone is a Nokia 8110 4g mostly because I can’t stand how modern ones look: but there’s also nothing one can’t fix with them at home, as opposed to weird computer issues new ones run into (I don’t believe I need to provide examples, but if this is disputed I certainly can).
Overall my issue is clearly not just with needless innovation but with capitalism at large, and it’s all so hard to grasp at in writing. You’re right, just like with anything else, the trick is finding the middle ground happy path.
