Fridges, AI, And The Hidden Cost Of Convenience
Security Boulevard, Friday, September 12th, 2025
There's an old story about a village that finally got electricity. Everyone bought fridges. A few months later, the elders gathered and suggested the unthinkable. 'get rid of them!'
Before the fridges, leftover food was shared. No one went to bed hungry. After the fridges, leftovers were hoarded 'just in case,' forgotten for days, and then thrown out. The tech solved an individual problem and quietly broke a community system that worked.
Cyber security has its own fridge moment.
