Personally, no. The era of "exascale-science" is upon us, and it can be terribly exciting. It's easier to create content (and data). Easier to monetize (sometimes outrageously so). And in many ways the content being created is more authentic in character than at any time in human history. And yet every interaction feels transactional, like a consumer oriented branded lifestyle experience. Probably the most "real" thing to watch in 2022: twitter feeds of Afghanistan. A rare window into historic tragedy. Guaranteed to leave the casual observer feeling helpless and bit as if hope has departed from the world ;)
