I'm in my 30s and I completely agree with you! Fahrenheit 451 was a dystopian novel not only because of the book burning but because of the people's use of technology to divorce themselves from the outside world and especially the

Shouldn't email plaintext passwords, ever. Email is not a secure way of communication. Users wouldn't delete their email. Admins can read their email from the server.
