     A work in progress:
     A Millenials' Digital Bill Of Rights
     We hold these truths to be self evident, that all First World Middle
     Class tweens, teens and 20-somethings are created superior, and are
     endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable digital rights
     including:
     To have their personal needs anticipated and met without effort on
     their part.
     To do exactly as they please at all times with no chance of
     destructive consequences.
     To maintain high bandwidth 24/7 ominplexed network participation
     with
     full privacy and security.
     To by protected from abuse of State and Corporate power by State and
     Corporate actors.
     Our up and coming Consumers did not choose these self- and mutually
     contradictory demands themselves; they have been indoctrinated by a
     seamless lifelong sales campaign, a uniform front of instant
     gratification product offerings and attractively packaged
     Experiences.
      No "conspiracy" was required to implement this program; it arose
     naturally from commercial competition.  But this spontaneously
     self-organized Standard has been recognized, formalized, and is now
     consciously pursued by every significant vendor in the consumer
     electronics, software and network services sphere.  The market has
     spoken and the UX future is now.
     A monitored life for every consumer, in the cybernetic sense of the
     word monitored, has now become a conscious and calculated goal:  An
     egocasting bubble for every consumer, unbreakable walls of contempt
     and alienation between every pseudo-tribe, a navigation funnel for
     every human need, and a grand illusion of personal autonomy for
     every
     captive consumer.  All consumers shall be sold both aspirations and
     the fulfillment of those aspirations in an eternally self adjusting
     feedback cycle of surveillance and adaptive stimulation.
     Users?  Please.  General purpose programmable computers in private
     hands create problems, not Solutions.  Laughable wannabe-elitist
     Lusers are already being phased out of society, and good riddance.
     We
     will of course need a /few/ thoroughly vetted and deeply dependent
     grunt workers to design and program devices to meet sales and
     marketing objectives.  There will also be deviant technophiliac rats
     in the walls of the global village, but exterminators make money you
     kno

     "And our children will live ... to see that perfect world in which
     there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality -- one vast and
     ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a
     common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all
     necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom
     amused." -Arthur Jensen
