It's not about the age of the technology, it's about whether it is an empowering technology, or a control technology.
I assure you that 1960s mainframes were used for control, wherever possible. 1970s computers one person could own were the *first* time IT was an empowering technology.
They raced to take control away from us. The Windows OS. Unrepairable Macs.
The "home page" (see brander.ca for a 1990s "home page") was replaced by Facebook, because it was easier than HTML.
