Funny that this article comes out just as I wrote this:

> I just want to bust open the false narratives surrounding phone culture and speak about the long term implications of having a computer in your pocket at all times that talks to the public Internet.

It's as if the article was designed for the likes of what I wrote in my article. The Big Brother narrative is a false narrative.

> Big Brother gets the brunt of the blame, and not the citizen. In the worst case, the citizen identifies with the aggressor and feeds the narrative: "I am not in control, Big Brother is. I willingly submit my data to third parties". But, you are in control, and you should never forget that. Perhaps you need to work hard at being in control, or challenge more assumptions about that, but in a free and democratic society, we are in control (and empowered) more than we have ever been.
