*People of your age group who knew and had access to Internet
30 years ago, most people were not using internet. They did not expect anything from something they did not know anything about.
Nowadays internet is a daily tool for billions from all age, from most countries and from many economic levels. It has been democratized. It has empowered a lot of people. And I'm sure many would like it to help do more of it. I'd bet more than during your time.

More people sharing control is democratising. > It has empowered a lot of people Not as much as it should have, not anywhere like as much.
