The old hook seems semi-dead: culturally, tech is no longer the hotbed of creativity & possibility that at least some of us once were so drawn to; it's much more settled/established, the advances originate in far less cool & human places/far bigger & more imposing attention-capitalism. There's a lot of talk about apps and the skinner-box worlds of especially mobile. So like, what hooks could tech have today? Where would youngsters get more involved with tech? And what changes to the industry or our paradigms might be open to us to allow tech to re-exude cool & empowerment?
