Tech by PC

I recently wrote an article about computers and toasters where I disagree with a common philosophy that says people want appliances rather than computers. I saw another article down a similar vein today talking about how people seem to think that we, the consumer, want a boxed Internet as well. The article is called the iPhone is killing the Internet. It’s nice to hear that I’m not alone thinking that these people are out of their mind. I think what it comes down to is a bunch of people trying to say something controvercial for the sake of looking intelligent. I don’t see the Internet anywhere near dying due to the iPhone or any other appliance. Just look at how many people have hacked the iPhone and it tells you that people want these appliances to do more than the big companies want them to. I know non-geeks who jailbreak their iPhones.
