    It’s the old tech shill’s shell game.

    “This is what we could have!” (Note: could have. Not what they’re working toward.)

    Television was once hailed as a boon for education. How long did that last?

    The Internet was once hailed as a means of learning about each other. Now it’s a source of ever-increasing vociferous division.

    All of this is purest fantasy because the people pitching it are shit humans who don’t want the future they sell to us.
