I’ve become disillusioned with technology. Some people reading this might remember that post-war television was going to transform and educate America, bringing culture and education to the masses. Live Broadway plays were broadcast in the 50’s. A decade later, TV was seen as a “vast wasteland”. It still is. Then, in the 80’s and 90’s, computers were going to “level the playing field” and turn youth into an army of geniuses who would take us to the stars. Instead we have texting, gabfests with zero useful content and porn.

I once kept up with stuff like this, but now I just don’t give a @$#$ anymore.
