for example computer chips are now cheap enough to put inside household appliances it just turns out that almost no one needs or wants that
we could use this to create technology to assist the disabled and elderly caring for themselves but that's not a big enough market so stupid bullshit it is
Like home security cameras are fine if part of a isolated network, but instead we get people broadcasting the inside of their homes to these tech companies that watch the footage and hand it over to the cops proactively.

yeah it's pretty deeply tragic like the people dying in Africa of diseases that there are cures and vaccines for but copyright law and the fact they aren't a big enough market to justify the cost of setting up a factory to make the medicine they need means they just die

It's really frustrating that we have the know-how and resources to make technologies for making all sorts of people's lives safer/easier/better but because it's not "profitable" we don't. It's really maddening to me that we have all the assets and knowledge but not the will due to "THE MARKET©®™" deems it to be unprofitable.
