I worry sometimes I just come across as an irascible old person who just doesn't use newfangled technology. My real particular goal I guess is that when I talk about using some or other thing that's fallen out of favour is that it's a reminder that whatever abusive tech monopolies aren't inescapable - that we had a time without them and can imagine a new time without them. Not that all new things are bad, but that we have more opportunities open to us before and after.

There's this Douglas Adams quote about how any technology you encounter in your teens is just part of the universe, anything introduced in your twenties is cool and you can probably get a job with it, and anything introduced after you're 35 is scary and bad and evil. And I worry I'm falling prey to this. But then I remember I was constantly angry and organizing boycotts about the technology being introduced in my twenties and teenage years, so
Haha. Yeah, absolutely - I find myself catching myself when I'm reacting to things trying to make sure is this actually bad or am I just older than 35? I'm probably not always making the right call but at least asking the question is putting me on the right track
Personally I think it is okay or even good to not default to positivity on things in the world. Especially technology things
