The negativity in tech is largely scapegoating driven in my opinion. The slanderers behind the non-existent 'Techlash' haven't stopped any more than the idiots trying to ban actual non-backdoored cryptography. It is all so incredibly stupid to me yet people keep on falling for the crap often enough that I disengage with them entirely. And people basically look at me like I'm the crazy one for pointing it out.
