46. Well, I probably use the term loosely, but...

I mean the people who are somehow creating the dystopia we are living in, with all our data being mined relentlessly, the charms and quirks of a city (I live in Seattle) being traded in for a glorified suburbia, with a downtown Target instead of local stores, the amassing of wealth at the top (we seem to have the biggest income disparity since the Gilded Age), the inability to do anything without a smart phone, the handing over of housing stock to Airbnb, the end of brick and mortar stores (especially bookstores) thanks to Amazon, and the out-in-the-open misogyny that reigns at places like Tesla and Google.

You are probably none of those things. And obviously there are a wealth of good things that technology has brought us. But I don't like how a handful of companies have been handed the power to change our lives (including the pace of each day) so drastically with no guardrails.
