I hope their premises are wrong - I come to the internet for tools that improve my life. I try not to live my life via the info streaming to me. And I hope that the trend to do so will subside once the next generation grows up with it being pervasive, and not a novelty.

I think the internet is an amazing communication, organization, and research tool. My future vision for it would be for it to stop also being an entertainment tool, and for us all to re-engage with the natural world and the people around us.

And my technology work tries to follow that - I look for jobs and projects that simplify and streamline one's life, and I reject projects that tie people more to their computers.
