One big thing I've learned in my tech career is to embrace new tech instead of fearing it. It's kind of like how many people have the experience that their parents don't like their music. A lot of time it's just resistance to a changing world.
Don't get me wrong, I do think there are dangers to runaway progress. But we can't stop the internet now. I think our best bet is opening ourselves up to what comes and help skew attention towards tech that leads to more compassion.
