I would also argue we lived in a pre-9/11 world.

It us shocking how much the world changed in response for the sake of security and safety, and I know it's a controversial take but the terrorists succeed in changing the world to their image.

Before: wow, this new thing is literally 4 times faster with a fuckload of features.

After : wow, this new thing allows 800 companies, fifty countries and 2 superpowers to spy on me at the same time and has 4 times the bloatware!
