Time for a weekend survey. I really would like to know which of these technologies and ideas are net positive or net negative in your mind. As an example, you might see a positive use for a technology, but some use is so negative that your overall feeling of the technology is negative. Similarly there might be a technology with some issues, but overall you see it as a positive.

Which of these are net positive to you?

@jon Some will say social media is a net negative, but it's really only what you make of it.

@jon when I hear "Privacy Preserving Ads" i am thinking about Google Ads aka Goggle topics built into chrome now

@exitcode , it seems to be the generic term used for ads based on your browser history, which is the reason I put the "" around it. Topics fits well there.

@jon @exitcode
Oh, I didn't realize that. I thought you meant the ads that actually respected your privacy. Things like ads based on the search terms you used and nothing else or ads that are not context based at all.

Actually, privacy respecting ads are positive for me because the current web needs ads to function and ads that truly respect your privacy are better than what most use.

@enthusiast101 @exitcode , people will understand terms in different ways. I think That is OK.

@jon crypto as in cryptography is undoubtedly a net positive

@jon concerned with how low memes are

@jon "AI" would have fit in the list

@jan , it would. That is true.

@jon Crypto as in cryptocurrency or as in cryptography?

@tux0r , Crypto currency.

@jon I'm assuming with crpyto you mean crpytocurrencies and not cryptography in general.

@Ketakater , indeed.
