As much as I wish you were correct, but I don't know if this is the "middle". It's all speculation. Hell, maybe tomorrow will be the day that social media will be banned and punishable by death by the Hague. But, I personally don't foresee too much of a slow down until there's a catastrophe due to it. Theranos I think is a good case study as to how the whole cult/religion mindset in tech is stupid and potentially dangerous. But that religious modal works fantastic in the scope of Apple and Google. Yes, there are the rebel movements against these guys, but let's be honest: "There's dozens of us! Dozens!". Relatively speaking to whom they cater to. Hell there will always be folks like Musk and Jobs. Both were the second coming of Jesus for their respective groups. Both are deeply flawed... well, assholes if you actually knew them. Jobs literally funded one of the largest sweatshops on the planet to make iPods and iPhones. Musk has the same emotional temperament as Trump. Facing the fact, most people in tech are just as religious as West Boro Baptist Church followers. Actually, I'd argue more because they don't realize they are. At least in most well rooted religions "Don't believe in false idols", at least teaches you that you are praying to something. That makes you aware that you are "praying". No difference between Sunday service and a tech stage conference with the giant projector images of everyone's current worshiping idol. "We removed the audio jack and you should all be happy, amen". And people clapped to that shit. This could actually be a super long legit post I could make. But long story short, Silicon Valley is the new Vatican. They're imposing their ideology of what they think is right (We own your personal information to better sell to you). Only difference, there's many more sects within it, all going for the same populous (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc). They hide behind having "faith in disruptive tech" but deliver, first off crap tech and second really intrusive, ethically shit-stained privacy practices. I'm getting soap boxy and this requires a lot of explaining. I still think there's still more room for this all to get worse. Obviously, I want to be wrong. Like, I hope one day you can go "Dude, you realize how stupid you were?" My legs are getting numb from doing this on a toilet with my phone.
