> those aged 55 and above are proportionately more positive than younger people about the internet's impact on civilization
The same is probably true across other technology topics as well. I don't think anyone should be surprised. People that age neither give a rat's ass about the future nor do they deeply understand these technologies or use them as extensively.
The mid-to-late 20th century also conditioned them to believe absurdly optimistic fantasies that never really came true. They were assuaged with trite statements like "well not in your lifetime, but someday soon". There are huge differences between witnessing invention and mass adoption vs refinement. This century so far has largely been modest refinement and even bigger lies.
Honey, how you grew
And if we stick together who knows what we'll do
It was always the plan
To put the world in your hands
I think every other part of this song that I want to quote here might get me banned without the context
thanks for the "recomendation"

The results of a poll commissioned by ofcom are worthless.

That is exactly what the old foggies in their fucking government wanted, right?
