With the exception of medical tech, it seems that most "advancements" in the last 10 years haven't represented actual quality of life improvements for the average person. Instead, they have been ways for corporations and governments to extract more money from us, gather more information, and exert more control.
I wonder if this is a consequence of so much privilege compared to the vast, vast majority of humanity that have lived so far.
