I’m glad they’re citing their sources. But on the other hand most hard quality of life indicators are up globally, even if the perception of the way the world is trending is negative.

I feel like you’re just going offtopic here. I mean, poverty around the world may be down for reasons that have nothing to do with what Silicon Valley is peddling; the article specifically criticizes the latter’s particular “tech utopia” vision of the future and not what was written up in the UN Millennium Development Goals.
