This document discusses the evolution of technology and techno-utopianism over the past 10 years. It begins by looking back at early visions of a decentralized cyberworld free from control. However, over the past decade major events like the Snowden revelations, Cambridge Analytica scandal, and COVID pandemic have eroded faith in tech. The current centralized models are examined, along with ideas for moving forward through decentralization, open participation, and ensuring technology benefits all of society.
