Technology for me will ultimately be judged by the degree in which it's use requires the commodification of my self. From my taste in entertainment to more invasive information such as my location and who I interact with, I feel it's important to put into consideration who I'm trading this information with and for what in exchange.

As long as a service requires my submission into an database which will be sold off and used to strengthen marketing and other forms of persuasion, I have no choice but to assume the worst case usage. With that assumption I feel it is most ethical to mostly not participate.

I hope that I'll be able to sit back and hop on when popular tech services have given me an alternative form of payment other than my person as an information commodity. I have no idea as to whether that day will ever come.
