I think the problem we're facing now is that we've basically hit on as good as its going to get for a while.

Previously things had to improve upon what came before, but with phones being as versatile and all-encompassing as they are, there isnt really much room for improvement until the next big leap, whatever that will look like. Companies still want to make more money though, and they will do whatever it takes to get it.

We're no longer customers as we used to be, we're targets. We're being analysed at ridiculous levels of scrutiny so they can turn the dials in just the right way to trick us into parting with just a little more money.

I mean, you know, alwayshasbeen.jpg and whatever, but the feeling is gone.
