You're talking about how it was to be in tech as opposed to using the tech - what the parent meant I think.

From the consumer's point of view, the parent is completely right. In the 90s/early 00s there was a real feeling that tech was trying to improve your life and make it easier without necessarily controlling every aspects of it.
