When did it become an assumption that I have to have a password on the Internet or even my desktop-computer?
I was inspired to think if something has gone wrong, in the design of Internet-and-computer technologies, when I realised that an engineering problem - how to display certain information on a web-site - could possibly be solved by letting users run commands on the server (as opposed as viewing data on a client)
Passwords, levels of privilege, 'admininistrator-rights' - don't all these scream 'I don't trust you. I don't trust others'
Now is that what I want in my life, I ask. Do I want to indirectly say 'I don't trust others' every time I use a technology. Or do I want to spend time building (trust in) relationships that arguably are made and broken by (mutual) trust. Does using technology necessarily mean that I have to give up on trust and/or trust-building.
Is it possible we could find a new way to use technology so that we find the satisfaction (and intimacy) that comes from a rewarding relationship with a something. A god. A business-partner. So on and so forth.
