Of Tenants & Landlords!<\/p>\n
NOTICE: Your tenancy can expire any time!<\/p>\n
Just a bit about the striking harbinger of a shift- our wholesale tilt towards becoming a tenant society. Today we may have the mistaken notion that we own things because we paid for them(through the nose or credit card go figure out) and brought them home, but as long as they run software or have digital connectivity, the sellers continue to have control over the product. The hunter becomes the hunted (or in this case the landlord becomes the tenant or should it be the renter becomes the rented…)- we are renters of our own objects, there by the grace of the ‘true owner’.<\/p>\n
Older batteries, ageing phones and the ever so gentle nudge to buy the new smartphone…we all go through it.<\/p>\n
We seem to have fewer rights as digital tenants<\/strong> than we do as tenants of real estate(where eviction is subject to due process and both sides have a voice and a choice).<\/p>\n How long before our devices start behaving like spies and taskmasters in our own (smart) home? Connectivity and embedded intelligence are at the fulcrum of push and control that large corporations exercise over us on their path to bigger margins and greater profits.<\/p>\n For all the tenancy rights violation, we just may be at the tip of some tenancy riots. So the next time you purchase something, ask ‘ Is it yours truly ? ‘.<\/p>\n Yours Truly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Of Tenants & Landlords!
