Just another instance of class mobility. If for instance this person has to rely on the rent for their main income but works a casual job to supplement it, then their interests lie in protecting that rent.

You see when the American colonies declared independence in 1776, Britain's source of agricultural goods started to dry up. They needed a replacement colony because they were losing the American Revolutionary War hence the invasion of Australia started in 1788. Since slavery was abolished, they had to use prisoners as their cheap labour force.

Yes - not all modernization and tech "advancement" has improved people's lives. Postmodernism is a side effect of a capitalist system. Communication has become a commodity to be consumed.
Unfortunately we haven't yet created a Linux-like philosophy that applies to mobile phones. With Unix, you use files or file handles to interface between command line tools. You incorporate the tools together in scripts to create more complex applications. How that philosophy can be transformed into a mobile device? I'm not sure.
Tech needs creative people to build things that help others live better rather than screw their life up.
