Silicon Valley’s reputation is taking its worst battering ever. And it’s probably not just a temporary dip in esteem. I believe that like the media, the legal industry, the financial industry, and the government, the business of technology will remain generally unpopular with the public.
It’s tempting to blame tech leaders behaving badly. But that’s not the only factor. Globalization and the culture wars are facts of modern life. Resentment from the 99% will continue to grow as the gap between the minority rich and the rest of the population widens. Technology is growing increasingly complicated and powerful–and people aren’t happy about it.
