There’s a lot less optimism about tech today than a decade or two ago. One reason is that people no longer expect new tech to make things better.

People still expect tech to be disruptive but disruption is no longer assumed to be a good thing by default.

@carnage4life I think there is also a factor of service. It used to be that google was useful, now everything is full of little anoyances and a lot of less serving the customer.
It may be a factor of ad supported industries, they start out as "we give you something you want and you see ads" but ends up as "you see more and more ads with little in exchange". A screw the customer philosophy.

@aoctavio It’s working great for the customer, but we’re not the customer.

Everything has to be monetized and have a subscription. It’s hard to escape these days.

@jollyrogue Yes, I get what you are saying, but not sure is working. If you want change "eyeballs" for customer in what I said. At the end, you need to convince the eyeballs to watch the customers ads, and that doesn't work if the eyeballs do not feel they get anything in return. At least, not for long.
