The Purpose is In the Name: Technology & Global Control

The Purpose is in the Name.

You will know what something is designed to do by examining what its creators have chosen to call it.

The fact that every aspect of our lives now needs to be facilitated by technology is completely by design. 

As long as we're dependent upon "Smart" devices to communicate, learn, share, conduct commerce, educate, etc., we are trapped/monitored by those who employ said devices.

"iPhone" = All-seeing eye, with its ability to collect valuable information from all it interacts with. A device that operates in real time, via the Internet and mobile data networks, to update its constantly burgeoning insight into our psyches. "I" can be commodified into algorithms and categories that seem to know some version of my subconscious, and my ego.

"Android" = AI is being developed in our image, via data collection, in order to separate, spiritually swindle, and control us. Their goal for us is mentally docile consumers, jailed by our own psychological makeup. When we ride on the emotional rollercoaster of incessant notifications, drowning in a blitzkrieg of information, we react according to plan: Helpless in our overwhelm. 

"Apps" = Small, additive snacks that draw upon a hunger for something more nourishing. Things that we consume mindlessly, guilty pleasures which often aren't very good for us in the long run.  

The manufacturers of said devices integrate so many features that we're compelled to use and carry around all the time. Everything we engage in via this technology monitors, records, monetizes--and thus, weaponizes--our habits, in order to perpetually customize (and thus optimize) their approach to control.
