Technology offers human beings a vast arrays of improvements as we constantly develop civilization… but what happens to those improvements when they are inherently dictated by corporate entities? To whom does it benefit that this kind of technological change happen?

The names of the suspected winners of this hypothetical situation may be incorrect, but the logical progression of technology and capitalism would follow a similar course in the real world.

For all of technologies benefits, the question to be asked in this video is this: Does technology truly benefit human existence if the means to its ends are controlled by individuals who look to profit from controlling its end or outcome?
