Comment on We're Not Innovating, We’re Just Forgetting Slower

This article is so weirdly written
One of his points is that a vhs player is easily fixable while a wifi router isn’t. These things aren’t even remotely the same. They don’t serve the same function, they don’t have the same complexity. Comparing their repairability makes no sense because they serve different functions. Just because I know how to repair a keyboard doesn’t mean I know how to fix a tv.
Most of his complaints are on the capitalization of modern technology, which is not a problem of innovation and knowledge, it’s an economics and political problem.

Fire good. Angry gods strike ground. Man take fire. Place food on top. Simple.
E-e-elic-tri-s-i-ty bad. Complicated. Not know who volt is. Sparks scary. Place food on top not know how.
