Safe to say that money and prosperity can be linked, but are not equal.

Lack of regulation in tech causes real harm, like addiction, social issues and misinformation,not to mention issues with cyber bullying and suicide in teens.

Do some people make out like bandits with billions or millions of dollars, sure but I don't think that's a good barometer for progress or prosperity.

To paraphrase Doctor Who "Human progress isn't measured by industry, it's measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege"

And by that measure we are still cavemen.
