Today I downloaded Connectbot to this Android phone to make an ssh connection to a server where I am busy upgrading a Drupal installation. I could also attend to details using this browser.
I want to bitch about how slow 3g is and the fact that MTN prematurely expired my data bundle and they set up an extremely incompetent and powerless help desk to bring greatfrustration to their customers. As if their predatory business practise is not bad enough. Why are the cell phone networks in South Africa allowed to treat us the way they do?
A friend wants an iphone app for taxi routes and hand signals. I wonder if she really believes that people who use taxis will spend such fortunes while most of them are earning less than the cheapest phone contract in Europe. Is it possible that we suffer all this abuse for the foreign shareholders to oppress us in a new way?
Should I be contributing to a system that treat people like this? Does anyone know of alternatives? The other monopoly has been tacking the piss much longer. Do we really have no say in this? Is talk and bitch all to be done?
It is believable considering that the government expects workers to pay for their employers electricity. Citezens have to subsidize industry energy use? Revenge for all the unreported theft parhaps? Or is the machine simply stronger than man? There are some scary fantasies about robots becomming or turning out evil but it is really someone somewhere who fails to care at the right moment.
