I like using the internet to search for things and to learn, for information. I don't trust lab meat however or a lot of the advances people seem to be pushing for or the lack of privacy people seem to want. Social media also has me iffy and how people are willing to trust strangers online more than their own thoughts and experiences. I see technology as a tool that can be used for good or evil. Some technologies I choose, others I eschew.
And then millennials came, trusting technology as no generation since the GIs. I know this is what S&H predicted, but what specific reasons made millennials develop this way?
