One of the problems of technology is that it functions as a multiplier of human abilities, which tends to make the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I worry sometimes that this sort of technology will tend to discriminate against those who are, for whatever reason, more private, who simply do not want to give their opinions, to be asked to expose themselves, etc. We live in an increasingly exhibitionistic culture, and I wonder if we fail to respect people who are intelligent and able, but simply desire to be guarded and reticent.
Does anybody else worry about this?
