I dont really know but Im curious how the generational waves of tech usage/adoption go. I had kept expressing a hope that youthful observation & youthful rebellion again parents would someday mean kids seeing their parents vacuous screen addictions & pick to do something else for themselves. My hope wained for a while, but Im starting to think other factors are helping. The sense of emergence as tech developed has all worn off- tech is all the same prepackaged shit, lacking in the niches and exploration it used to have. And it's apparent none of it has our interests at heart (or wont, after the next buy out). To be clear, I think there are lots of really interesting & open frontiers of tech, but here we are in almost 2023 and we're only kust making oue way out of Walled Gardens/Neomainframes, and it s unclear that we will have a revival of a more personal computing or not, given the complexity & difficulty of connected/online tech. We need paths forwards (and I dont think retropunk nor simple static will have much real enticement, will have sufficient allure).
