I grew up with tech in the 80s on a Tandy1000. Then saw BBSs in the 90s. If I had the type of phones and internet info and tech at my finger tips as a kid in the 80s/90s.. .Damn. I dunno how I woulda turned out. But I saw a hint of it at my GFs place on the holidays. Her young son was completely into all the voice activated alexa stuff. Tying in every lightbulb in the house, glass break sound sensors, you name it into alexa. I was/AM completely HORRIFIED at how much info Jeff Bezos has on you. Amazon can tell at any time where people are in the house, they can tell what lights in what rooms are on, when you are at home, when you are in the bathroom.
HOLY SHIT PEOPLE. On one hand I can see the glee in the kids eyes at this tech. But getting older has certainly shown me why my dad was always a bit scared at me logging on to BBSs..
