I remember years ago watching a keynote webcast by Steve Jobs as head of Apple. He introduced a new advert for the iPod, maybe it was the launch event of an updated iPod, predecessor of the iPhone. The advert showed outline animated people dancing wildly, impassioned by the music heard through the characteristic white headphone leads.
Now years later I walk around the city or travel on the public transport system and what do I see? Everywhere there are proto-hunchbacks staring down at tiny screens all day. No-one is dancing; few are even smiling. Most look like some sort of nu-human, devolving hunchbacks, prisoners in an online antisocial bubble. Steve Jobs, is this the legacy you wanted?
