"I am seeing many anecdotal experiences shared online on various platforms stating that it is difficult to find employment in tech." What is "tech" 100% serious question Is it short for "technology" For example, "Technology is the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way." Skolnikoff, Eugene B. (1993). "The Setting". The Elusive Transformation: Science, Technology, and the Evolution of International Politics. Princeton University Press. p. 13. ISBN 0-691-08631-1. JSTOR j.ctt7rpm1. Citing Harvey Brooks' definition of technology as "knowledge of how to fulfill certain human purposes in a specifiable and reproducible way." The term "technology", historically, is not synonymous with computers despite whatever popular usage has arisen in the past ~20 years. Technology predates the existence and use of computers and computer networks and the use of these resources for commercial surveillance Knowledge of computers and computer newtorks is a type of conceptual knowledge Electronic surveillance, data collection from internet usage and delivery of advertising via internet is a practical goal The application of conceptual knowledge of computers and computer networks to the practical goal of surveillance, data collection and advertising is reproducible However it should be self-evident that "technology" is much broader than this type of application Most technology has nothing to do with internet surveillance or advertising
