>3. anything that gets invented after you’re 30 is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.

This started happening when I was 14 (~2007) and really started to accelerate after I was 20 (~2013). I don't correlate this with me getting old but more like getting more and more aware of the profiteering, surveillance and bullshit everywhere.

And from the other side of the coin: I'm in my late thirties now and there also has been plenty of new tech (or improvements on existing tech) from the last decade that has me really excited. Unsurprisingly, almost all of it can be used outside of the aforementioned bubble of "profiteering, surveillance and bullshit".
