Personnally, I think it's too little too late. They should have told people that 10 years ago, when the IT community started to feel it would go this way, and begun to warn everybody about it. That's what journalist is about. Now, they are just repeating what's in everybody's mind. But society doesn't need parots as journalists. Surprise, we have social medias for that. It needs analysts, reporters, people that help them decrypt the world better. They completly failed at decrypting the IT world for the last 2 decades, and only started writting about things when a lot of people already understood it and paid the price. Basically, they don't do their job, and complain we are not supporting them anymore. Sorry but not sorry.
