Hey let's not be pessimistic. Based on the current societal trajectory we might be living in the best period of history, end of the 20th, beginning of the 21st centuries. We had an amazing life with access to awesome technology for personal use that we didn't have to lease. We weren't under 247 surveillance by corporations. A brief period of technological freedom for a smallish group of humans before we went to corporations authoritarian hell.
