This speaks to me on a visceral level. Most people are unfit to be trusted with something as ubiquitous as an automobile but we kept handing out technology as it evolved faster and faster and now the digital age has more or less destroyed the fabric of society because the people accessing it now are no longer those with enough cognitive capacity to recognize and mitigate against the dangers it poses.
It's going to be a wild future with AI on the horizon. Imho people should need pass a test to even touch some stuff if it was according to me. We do the same with cars, forklifts, cranes, etc. While most tech that is potentially harmful doesn't hurt your body, it sure does hurt your mind. I am specifically thinking about the Internet and especially social media(which I would outright abolish if I could).
