Technology was supposed to give us all lives of luxury, ease, and time for creativity and learning. What have we got instead? Poverty, evil billionaires, government capture, poor management, and the collapse of cultural life. https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/university-nottingham-set-cut-600-10933176
