I've Fallen Out of Love With Technology

I’ve been writing about the technology industry for much of this decade, and now I have an awkward admission: I've fallen out of love with technology.

I've never been a gadget nerd, but I also remember vividly the first time I tried the original iPod and YouTube and wondered why these magical things hadn't existed before. And when I moved to the Bay Area about six years ago as a technology journalist, I was struck by the feeling that this was the only remaining American industry not experiencing an existential crisis. Tech folks tend to be optimistic about what they do and the future in general, and that feeling was contagious.
