Is this thing on?... *tap *tap *tap
Hi, there. :)
This is softEthos, where we will attempt to show the chaotic and accidental ways software has (mis)shaped the world... and where we are going next.
Three goals:
- To entertain and enlighten the tech outsider.
- To show some pitfalls and best practices to the designers and programmers out there.
- And to get society thinking ahead (this stuff is coming, whether we plan on it or not)... let's talk about it ahead of time, for a change.
Planned future articles inclide:
- Death and Defaults: How default settings dramatically changed organ donation rates.
- How Google spawned the trolls it hates.
- Success, failure, and costs of 5 star rating systems.
- Social media divides us… when all they really wanted was to exploit and addict us.
- Why a browser few have heard of, is almost certainly more accurate than the mighty Google.
- What in the world is Meta and why are people driving up the stock?
- NFTs are a joke... right?
- The REAL pitfall of bitcoin. *hint: It’s the humans. It’s always the humans.
- Self driving cars will save more lives than any modern medical practice – until…
Enjoy :)
