I really want to believe this, but at the moment it feels as though technology has done nothing but set humanity back further and further, by becoming about money, rather than information or cooperation.
The individual has been deified beyond any reason and that cat is not going back in the bag. So long as the internet is controlled by mega corporations for financial gain predicated upon misinformation, I don't see this vision coming true.

I don't have FB, never used Twitter, Instagram or Vine.
I like having discussions online from time to time and I read news for nerds, and that's about it. My interaction has shrunk to a tiny number of websites.

The Luddites were certainly not wrong, even if their attitude seems like yet another form of extremism, and I find all forms of extremism to be misplaced.

First they came for the MySpace, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not on MySpace.
Then they came for the Twitter Users, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Twitter User.
Then they came for the Facebook, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not on Facebook.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me—
Because their latest selfie is trending on Instagram.
The Proletariat will overthrow the Bourgeoisie and take control of cryptocurrency mining farms in China.
You got a good chuckle out of me :)
And we'll bet on which oppressor will get whacked next with bitcoin!
