Maybe my perception of the world is naive, but I always tended to believe that technology was something created to serve us (humanity) to help better the whole... and yet, it often feels like humans are ending up serving technology, instead.

It all gets back to examining and determining our purpose; the truth of what we want. When I found Steemit, my hope was that there could be some kind of synergy here... a venue for people to contribute, where their contributions allowed not only for their own growth and benefit, but for the greater benefit of building a community, to the benefit of the community... and by extension, participating in a greater betterment of the world, as a whole. Recent events make me wonder how capable people are of seeing beyond their own personal stories.

Thanks for your comment!
