    I think the tech community should come to the realization that most people (no, not in your immediate circle which is mostly tech) don’t want choice; they want ease of use, which means guidance.

    Why would a person, who can’t differentiate between google, a web browser, an app, or even the internet, want to change their device settings on their own which requires 10 clicks when their experience can be configured by zero clicks by a mega corp? This is a systemic issue in our society and needs to be corrected at school level in some sort of “Social media awareness/IT class”.

      I agree completely. The biggest issue is it requires critical thinking which is unfortunately not a common skill. Maybe this is one of the first things that needs correcting.
