Alas not enough people are "pissed off". Societies, in particular the US, are now taking unprecedented risks, dissolving long-standing practices, trampling on moral standards, pursuing massive violations of trust, all in the name of profit making (that - in the scheme of things - is actually quite puny). Now, it is clear that the diffusion of digital technology invariably takes us to different pastures. We are not in Kansas anymore when everybody carries a connected supercomputer. Both parenting and education will be impacted and will never be the same again. A new equilibrium must be found. But what is happening in the past decade or so is just an unwarranted wild west that capitalizes (literally) on ignorance, inertia, confusion, regulatory capture and political dysfunction. |
