2. Yes, There Are Things to Be Thankful for in Tech

by Shira Ovide for Bloomberg

2019 was a big year for big tech. With Facebook hearings in the U.S. Senate, Tesla Twitter kerfuffle or the continuous unfolding of the WikiLeaks case it seems that we might have let tech become too mighty for its own good. This piece, being still very sober, invites you to think about the reasons things aren’t as bad as you might think. We love the Number 1 — Gratitude for the boring stuff. Take a moment to think of countless boring routine operations that you can delegate to tech while reading this article.
