Exam question...when and why did "tech" come to mean just Silicon Valley? https://t.co/zNdDiY8iHC

As the decade winds down, what can we say about tech?

Some of the people who helped shape tech over the last 10 years - Mark Zuckerberg, Kevin Systrom, Gordon Moore, Ellen Pao, Demis Hassabis, Brianna Wu + many others - say it for themselves:https://t.co/23q7iBMYf4

At the start of this decade, tech was full of promise. Then it evaporated.

What is missing from this account is a recognition that there were critics arguing in 2010 (& earlier) that it was dangerous & foolish to place so much faith in the “promise” of tech.

Such critics were mocked & ignored (including by the NY Times)...but they were right. https://t.co/LRODrrADO9

Days after the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Mark Zuckerberg says the notion that Facebook affected the result is "a pretty crazy idea." Russia is later found to have used it to interfere in the election by sowing discord and spreading disinformation. https://t.co/MkDUpLs5s9 pic.twitter.com/tQTI2eKQ0X

At the start of this decade, globalized Western elites shaped by television foolishly assumed “tech” would consummate the utopian fantasies they broadcast through that medium. Then... https://t.co/6UfdUl9nKC

Christmas has come early. The nuggets in this package are incredible. Diane von Furstenberg gets candid on Google Glass: “To tell the truth, I was a little concerned about having the battery pack on my temple because it was very close to the brain.” https://t.co/QzrViek7bC

"I wanted the institution to change. It wasn't 'I want more money' or 'I deserve a promotion.' It was seeing this happen to all the women on the team. Seeing that nobody was going to get promoted made me realize this is a much bigger thing than me." https://t.co/r7SJDCDPqg

NYT started the decade by telling you the next recession was imminent and the tech bubble was going to burst. They end the decade by telling you Tech has lost its way.

NYTs stock is up ~400% this decade. Good business and a reminder to think for yourselfhttps://t.co/VHwHKPsKCY

2010년이 시작됐을 때 기술은 약속했다. 차량은 혼자 알아서 주행하고 소셜네트워크는 독재를 타도할 거라고. 우리는 거의 상상하지 못했던 방식으로 연결되었고, 곳곳에서 기술의 결함들이 불거지기 시작했다. 무슨 일이 있었나. 지난 10년 분기점이 된 주요 뉴스 돌아보기. https://t.co/E2PsWxijU5

In a decade, technology has known everything and ended up losing its mind.

This model has come to an end.

It's time to close this interlude in the history of the Internet. Now let's go back to the values of its founders.

When the decade began, tech meant promise, cars that could drive themselves, social networks that could take down dictators. It connected us in ways we could barely imagine. But somewhere along the way, the flaws of technology became abundantly clear https://t.co/TJXJsJA4CO #tech

Further proof that no one cares about #NetNeutrality. It didn't make the @nytimes review of the biggest tech stories of the last decade.

Even Baby Shark made the list.

All those people died and no noticed. Sad! https://t.co/gsBN3qgFMA
