I grew up during the transition into the internet era and don’t recall feeling cynical about digital or analog. I was intensely drawn into the internet, software, programming, but never thought “boy I’m glad stupid analog is going to be replaced”

But now we’ve got cynicism everywhere about both analog and digital. Old analog technology is stupid and obsolete but new tech is clearly ripping our society to shreds in a variety of ways.

So I guess I miss being happy with what we had AND being excited about the future.
