but it also has led to less reading and more dependency on technology these days. I think just in my lifetime of going from using a slide-rule, to a calculator, to now apps for even simple math. I'm pretty sure that AI (always makes me think of our present-day Secretary of Education 😁 ) will have really life changing implication on our society some good and some seriously dangerous for the masses.

It seems obvious to people like myself who have witnessed the world change so much. I just don't think any of this present day dystopian world would have been possible 60 years ago. ☮
