I don’t remember the last time I read about something that was happening on a societal scale that the majority of Americans wanted or thought would be a positive change.

Back in the early days (and by that I mean years) of Facebook, as well as the ipod era of Apple, Americans (and most of the world really) were head over heels about those companies

I remember reading so many "articles" on how great the world would be if we just handed Jobs the keys to everything

It is a great technology that is based on the agglomerate of all human knowledge. It's a pity it's in the wrong hands.
