Episode Description

Have you ever gotten an email from a faceless global corporation and marveled at how it uses words to its advantage? I’m not talking about the legalese in Terms & Conditions or Privacy Policies—we’re all going to click Yes anyway—but the emails justifying prices increases. I can’t even imagine how much money is spent on lawyers and marketers drafting the obligatory price increase email, but that’s besides the point. Today, I’m going on a rant inspired by the faceless global corporations and the forced adoption of AI and other technologies that drive up the cost of doing business. But after the rant, I take an all-too-brief detour through some social criticism courtesy of Neil Postman, who also provided the amazing title for today’s episode in his book, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology.
