Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.
Last time I called a cab I was charged $20 to come to my house and pick me up. After that it was another charge to go where I needed. That’s a cost you don’t need to pay if you’re just hailing a cab in the city.
