One solution to tech problems noted here that I've considered is to pass laws that YOU own your data, your image, your content, etc. Tech companies must compensate you for everything they use about you. Tech companies will try to have you sign over your rights in order to use their "free" app, but this needs to also be outlawed.
Scads of truth there. We have all been nudged off track. But the younger generation maybe the most because of technology. People just don’t hang out together anymore. They are all on the electronic devices

At one point, he says this avoidance of having kids is global, but I don't think that's true. This is a cultural thing, and in places like most of Africa where the vast majority of the population doesn't have modern phones or the internet, at least I haven't heard that's going on. It's in the affluent countries where the pressure is being felt.
