Files and folders were invented in the 1970s. We're still using them. Your "desktop" is a metaphor from before you were born, applied to devices that fit in your pocket and connect to everyone on Earth.
Social media promised connection but delivered extraction. Algorithms decide what you see. Engagement metrics decide what gets made. Your attention is the product, packaged and sold.
Productivity software treats you like a cog. Clean, efficient, lifeless. Your tools don't know you, don't adapt to you, don't care about you. They're built for spreadsheets, not humans.
