Have you heard of these things called humans? I think this is more a reflection of them. Books ate trees and corrupted the youth, tv rotted your brain and made you go blind, the internet made people lazy. Wait until I tell you about gasp auto-correct or better yet leet speak! The horror. Clearly we are never recovering from either of those. In fact, I’m speaking to you now in emojis. And wait until you learn about clutches pearls Wikipedia— ah the horror!
Is tech and its advancements perfect? No. Can people do better? Yes. Are criticisms important? Sure are. But panic and fighting a rising tech? You’re probably not going to win.
Spend time educating people on how to be more ethical with their tech use and absolutely pressuring companies to do the same. Taking a club to a computer didn’t stop the rise of the word processor or the spread of Wikipedia madness. But we can control how we consume and relate to tech and what our demands of their creators are.
PS— do you even know how to read and write cursive? > punchable smug face goes here. <
I mean - propaganda has in fact gotten us to the shittiest administration possible. AI hype is off-the-scale for anything - more than The Space Race, more than, well, anything. And it isn’t even useful!
It’s far and away a different thang than a new medium about, by, and for humans.

I agree. I would say we’re at the cusp of a new technological revolution. Our world is changing fundamentally and rapidly.
