Another drop of blood in the water. tech is no longer a boom industry. The hopes of infinite growth have been dashed on the reality that there is a fixed amount of time people can spend on phones, computers and tablets in a day. Meanwhile the anxious suits are saying “but is there anyway we could get people to not sleep? That’s be an additional 8 hours we could be showing them adds and harvesting their data.”
