This is not entirely true. Your link leads to a 56 minutes video while my linked video is just 4 minutes and providing the relevant discussion point.

Thanks and this link makes much more sense (but the video is again 56 minutes but there is a marker).

#6Seems like an old man is having trouble with change. I'm sure that similar things have been said about cars, telephones, televisions, and computers in general.

#9He provides good examples and reasoning for his fears, but still it'd be great to have a larger book/discourse on this.
One of Facebook's defenses of this is that they hire psychologists etc, but it's to better train this system.
More people coming out against this sort of thing after they've had first hand experience is good!
