It is now apparent that the technological "revolutions" of the internet and the cell phone are actually harming the majority of people while the benefit the wealthy few.
The most egregious is Uber which claims to be a "ride sharing" app but it really undercuts the earnings of licensed taxi drivers. Uber executives have been accused of harassing critics and using threats of lawsuits to silence opponents. Many European countries like France and Germany have banned Uber. In fact Uber is part of a larger trend of forcing people to work longer and harder for less pay and benefits. Consumers are at the same time lured in with promises of lower costs but they get worse service.
So who wins? The predator entrepreneurs.
