Are you in better shape than your parents at your age?
Yes, I'm in better shape physically and mentally. But not financially. In their time, consumerism wasn't as rampant. They had seen difficult times and, inevitably, wanted to take precautions. My lifestyle is more conscious.
I distinguish Google from other companies. People have used Google consciously for a long time, and it has been very beneficial for them.
For sure. People can't live today, without what our parents never even saw.
Google is one of the worst imo. They throttle so much development externally and milk inventors. Every gateway is a google funnel on the internet and they use it to control information.
