Want to sell any technology to everyone and ensure its total acceptance? Here’s how:
If I invented a product that had all kinds of potential dangers and harms but still wanted to make a bundle off that product, I would do the following:
-Convince everyone that my product is here, it's inevitable, and that they might as well use it.
-Convince everyone that failure to use my product means you are behind-the-times and irrelevant.
-Convince everyone that my product was just like a previously non-harmful product like a calculator, and that it was "only a tool." You can always blame the users for harms too.
-Convince anyone that any attempts to regulate my product will stifle innovation and just allow the Chinese to beat us.
-Utilize the Ed Tech and educators to make all the children of the world into proper consumers of my product.
-Buy a political establishment that will protect my enterprise at all costs—environment and health of the people be damned. Especially buy out local governments where I need to put my massive data centers.
-Tell wild fantasies about how my product has the potential to rule the world.
-Make my product as addictive as possible, and keep individuals using it for everything. Even invent uses and convince people to use it even if it is not actually more useful of effective. Goal is to keep users in the product.
That is a blueprint for ensuring product success no matter what harms and unforeseen consequences it might have. That’s the Silicon Valley marketing plan.
