I'd rather not make conclusions of a technology impact based on a 44 minutes episode that was optimizing for maximum entertainment.

So there's nothing fundamentally wrong in taking inspiration from sci-fi.

Sure the presented perspective is negative but that is because the producer explored local maximums to the benefit of the audience. They are obliged to paint technology in a certain way to captivate viewers.

Does that mean that the presented reality is the only possible one? Certainly not, that would be reductive.

Many popular technologies today are used to scam a defraud people. Does that mean said technologies are fundamentally bad? Not at all.

I use technology as a force multiplier.
