Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis.

    Yes, that’s my point.

    The other poster dismissed the value of technological improvements saying that “people aren’t happier”.

    The problem isn’t that technology failed to deliver, it has vastly improved efficiency and capabilities. The problem is that social structures have regressed. Two very different things.
