Why was everyone so optimistic towards technology in the 1990s and so doom and gloom about it today?
Did we open a pandora box and only now realized what we have gotten into?
Or was just it just a more optimistic time in general?

9/11 / war on terro and then teh financial crash
>>Or was just it just a more optimistic time in general?
it was, but I think it was more to do with the fact that the two twin scourges of the modern internet, governments and ad companies, hadn't really figured out how to use the internet yet.
technological progress slowed down after the 70s but people only started to realize it recently
saying the 90s was more optimistic is just an ameritarded point of view, while they were still living in their bubble before 9/11
Technological progress hasn't slowed down and the 1990s were more optimistic everywhere, unless you lived in East Europe / Russia (Aftermath of Soviet collapse) or Africa.
I'm not American btw.
Those are just Kondratiev wave stages. We're stagnating now. Read Schumpeter.
if all you do is watch adverts from massive corporations, of course you're going to think everyone was positive about future-tech.
the internet at least was overhyped in all the same ways television and radio were

because everyone was thinking the emphasis on progress would be tech, science, etc. but unfortunately we had a communist revolution so now the "progress" is centered around communist religious tenets like diversity, equality, gender whatever, race, etc. we honestly would have had that future if it wasnt for leftists.
