What to be thankful for in tech

Hi, everyone. It's Shira. Happy Thanksgiving, if you are celebrating. If not, you may still get a taste of the festivities as the very American retail mania that is Black Friday infects your world. You're welcome.

I know, it sure doesn't feel like there are many things to feel good about in technology. Tech tools have allowed misinformation, bullying and social division to spread like a virus. They have empowered tyrants and monsters, and created a new underclass of grinding jobs. Some days I want to set cartoon dynamite to blow up the internet and start fresh.
