I do, and i see what the web has become now, and it makes me less likely to be giddy about the next new thing. I think we're at a point where the net is no longer novel enough to be magical, and we see the reality is a lot more mundane and even harmful than anyone predicted. You can't just throw out grand concepts and wish for magic now; there needs to be a lot more reflection on the technologies people introduce. Are they sustainable, in that they can maintain their original purpose? Do they increase the attack surface of people, groups and societies greater than the benefit? Do they require skill and vigilance beyond the average person to use safely? I don't think optimism and "it will all work out" is a rational position any more.
