Will software replace humanity? LOL!
just pull the plug, remove all apps from your phone, remove the smart

but can you?
I am NOT completely sure what the point of the topic starter is except the Jevon's paradox, which was interesting. My opinion is that OVER TIME that the paradox will go away and go back to regular supply and demand. But the later question of "Will software replace humanity?" It comes close to another variation of that which I consider important - is the design of the software very sneaky (insidious) to keep (almost force) young (controllable) minds to consume TOO MUCH social media. We all know about the increased suicide rate for teenage girls.That is a SOCIAL COST that the social media OWNERS are NOT paying. The answer, ultimately, is for the governments of the world to do a better job of regulation in the future. I hope that my question did NOT stray too far from the original point of the topic.
