It'll get much harder, especially for folks who aren't very tech-literate, but that means we just need to focus that much more on improving tech literacy, particularly in underserved communities. Eventually we'll learn to stop relying on corporations and start relying on each other. I hope so, at least.

In any case, I think it's really, really important that we remember our values in the free tech scene. Money doesn't dictate whether or not someone should be allowed to have access to technology. People are not owed money just for owning things. Corporations will try to make us think otherwise, but we have to reject that when it comes. We can stop computer tech from being nothing more than a tool for the wealthy classes to maintain their power, but only if we stick together.
