Data is a commodity
Data drives technology
Data is immaterially material
Does knowledge exist in data? .... Data -> Information -> knowledge ... previously believed this, but I have reason to question it
Data is the material for new-age technology, so many people are collecting it, but should this be re-evaluated?

Modes of Interaction

We have the basic one, need to fix it up, revise it (maybe get it cleared by IRB)
Split some of it or add more into other surveys?
"Table" Setups/Hangouts
List of topics to talk about:
- Is technology meeting your needs in today's world? Yes or No, let's talk about it.
  Interviews
"Incentivize" people by sharing equity in financial results of the interviews. I'll split any monetization for their interviews evenly.
Get consent forms (with the incentive clause in there)
Speeches??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
It would be cool to go to venues and share thoughts on people-focused technology (or SpiritualTech™️ as I'm terming it)

Does technology meet the needs of people today?

Usability: What makes technology usable in people's lives?
Data: Where do people get data from, where do people give data to?
Data v. Information: How much of what people interact with is raw data vs. real information to be processed? (What is the true boundary between raw and structured data)
Integration: What are they, what are missing, are the current integrations good enough?
HCI: Do users feel like they are the most important?
Limits: Where does technology fail and/or hurts more than helps or vice versa?
Brokenness: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4JxDLYt21W/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Super human: How effective is technology in augmenting our abilities (memory, critical thinking, physical limits, et cetera)?

The world/society is so divisive (is this true and what needs to be expanded on in this question)
What areas of life/industries have benefited the most from technology?
End goal is the interaction, not the interface (the interface is another middle man)
Self-exploration Journey
Discover if there is a place I like more than Florida
Help solve problems with technology, if I can

DevOps x Real Infrastructure (what does the new age infrastructure look like? Where will the new age infrastructure not reach..)
Social Technology (how are social interactions evolving because of technology?)
Technology x Age
Technology x Finance
Technology x Culture
Technology x Security/Privacy/Crime

Dimensions: Age/Generation, Education, Sex (maybe)

Finance not important, i.e. if you have less money, you have less access to technology (you don't necessarily known less about technology though)
Equity in tech (maybe expand on this)

Some things I've already become more aware about:

How to find joy in the day-to-day
Making current life high quality enough to be shared with others (not just virtually)
Perspectives, something about perspectives (knowing that other people's perspectives are different from mine, and seeing it in certain moments)
