Rising Hell: How Tech Giants Make Our Lives Easier Despite Their Troubling Power

As I began my experiment of switching to a Nokia phone and leaving behind the familiar comforts of Apple's ecosystem, I couldn't help but realize how deeply reliant I was on tech giants like Google, Apple, and Facebook. Like many of us, I've grown accustomed to relying on these companies for various aspects of my life, from communication to organization.

For instance, when I needed to connect with friends who live far away, such as Alex in New York, we would normally use Skype, but since it's owned by Microsoft, we opted for a more old-school approach – phone calls. And I found myself making a lot of them this week, partly due to the frustration of texting on Nokia's numbers-based keyboard.

As I went through the process of transferring my contacts from Google to my new phone, I was struck by the sheer number of people I've accumulated over the years. From Google alone, I had an astonishing 8,000 contacts – a far cry from the 143 people I actually interact with regularly. It's no wonder that Google, along with Apple and Facebook, has become my de facto rolodex.

While it's true that these tech giants have amassed significant power and control over our personal data, it's hard to deny their impact on making our lives easier. Without them, I'm not sure how I would have managed to stay in touch with friends and family who are scattered across the globe.

In fact, when I first started this experiment, I realized just how reliant I was on these services. It was like quitting a habit – cold turkey wouldn't cut it. But gradually weaning myself off various services helped me appreciate their value once again.

So while the rise of tech giants may be a cause for concern, it's also undeniable that they've revolutionized the way we communicate and interact with one another. And as I continue to navigate this new world without Apple's ecosystem, I'm reminded of just how much these companies have come to shape our daily lives – for better or worse.

In conclusion, while the concept of 'Rising Hell' might seem daunting at first, it's a reminder that even in the face of uncertainty and change, we can find ways to adapt and appreciate the benefits that these tech giants bring.
