Here was my humble attempt to create a non-linear music interface (I'm not a musician by any stretch): http://buildanappwithme.blogspot.in/2016/04/lets-make-music.... I have since abandoned iOS development in

I get the point of the article but "facebook" could be replaced by "computing" and we could ask, "Are computers a structural threat to free society?". Ultimately we could conclude, "Humans are the biggest
