        Definitely, I remember being a senior in high school the day 9/11 happened and even then I felt that the world was going to change and not change for the better.

      “but look how much technology you’ve gotten to see as it evolved every 3 years.”

      Tech can fuck off. All these technological advances have served some Capitalist at the expense of imploding the middle class, or distracting the masses with some shiny bauble while shareholders extort more flesh each quarter.

      If tech advances don’t create a rising tide, they’re just a tool for exploitation.

        I think you should identify as a problem instead of identifying as the problem if possible. The former attitude has more ‘spunk’ as the yanks say.
