In the first segment of this month's podcast, I admit to all the great things that have only happened because people had cell phones with video cameras and an internet connection, but then go on to note that those who own cell phones are thus also under a level of constant surveillance, even as they record various levels of official misconduct and cute cat antics..
I then look at the ecology of cell phone creation, which is highly polluting, and possibly not sustainable for very long, concluding by getting into the way cell phone regulation and research have been "captured" by the industry that profits from them. This portion concludes with a creepily prescient 80's pop song.
