On that note I am noticing with growing concern the big push to transition to and rely on technology that is nowhere close to the level of reliability that is being presented. I am not a Luddite in any way but pushing apps everywhere with little regard for functionality and privacy, as well as endless "do you have an app for this?" questions are unnerving. Same with AI.
I recently got on a plane that insisted I download an app to use as my boarding pass, rather than just give me a boarding pass. It was a transfer, and the second flight used a boarding pass. Significantly easier. But I guess the app lets them gather data on me or something.
