>Tech is no longer a force for good and we long for the time when this illusion was available. I disagree. Tech was never a "force for good". It's always been a tool, a physical manifestation of the science we pursue as part of our species desire for knowledge of the world around us. It can be used for good or evil, whatever your definitions for those are. Right now it's used for a lot of evil things because the people in charge of using it are not altruistic. By and large, the people in charge of government at all levels in the US are elderly and grew up before the space age began. Their focus is not on bringing technological benefits to anyone. It's on bringing all benefits of any kind to themselves. Tech will be a force for good if we can change ourselves and our country to make it that. It will be used for evil, too. Like any tool, it's on us to use it correctly and wisely.
