I don't get it. What you wrote and what you're responding to are not in contradiction with one another. On what basis is what GP said a lie? What relevance does 5G have to anything?

Progress in technology is progress regardless.

I just watched a few episodes of Black Mirror so I'm in cynical mode. I'm not trying to be argumentative but it just felt more like a non-sequitur than anything...

Progress is good (mostly), though, right?

As for which economies that progress happens to bolster, well, let the chips fall where they may, I suppose.
