Summary

This quote highlights the dual nature of personal technology in contemporary society. On one hand, technology has granted people increased autonomy and the ability to pursue their desires freely. This particularly applies to celebrities and athletes who may have more resources to utilize technology for their benefit. On the other hand, personal technology can also quickly turn into a tool for humiliation. This refers to the potential for private information or actions to be exposed or easily circulated, causing embarrassment or disgrace. Consequently, technology provides both freedom and risk, symbolized here as a "humiliation jetpack."
