A #gadgeteer is also the naive or careless person who wears these #gadgets and is either oblivious of the detrimental externalities of the tech to society, or criminally negligent of those (usually #trend-following hipsters).
A word invented to stimulate mindless #consumerism. Used for stupid devices one "just must have" for vanity reasons and because the #hype says so. The more expensive the device the shinier it is perceived to be, and helps trigger jealously with peers of the #gadgeteer. So they also crave the gadget now. One must buy a gadget asap, or it is no longer a gadget when it is replaced with a newer version or something else that's become the fad of the day.
Yes, I agree. A good form of #HumaneTech#activism is to bring up these topics of discussion in a gentle manner, that serves to make it socially acceptable. Instead of one who brings up their #privacy concerns being looked upon as some kind of conspiracy nut.
As you've seen I introduced the term of #Gadgeteer which is I think an appropriate word to name and shame those who carelessly put our collective #wellbeing in danger with their hipster tech.
