Instead of flying cars (YMMV on the merits of that) and other fantastic boons to mankind, we got the filthy cesspools of hate, lies and violent threats called Facebook/Meta and Twitter/X. And there are lots of others.

It's the sick culture that elevates these sociopaths.

But that's another issue, and I could fill up all of DU's disk drives speaking to that.
