Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis.

That reminds me of the gymnastics people have to do in the UK. There they have the BBC, which is technically public television but anyone that partakes on it needs to pay a heavy fee per year - and the devices legally deemed to be subject to that fee is ever increasing. In order to avoid paying that fee, people now need to have no television sets, no computers, no smartphones, no nothing.
