What do you learn from Cyberpunk?
| The importance of personal privacy, network security, and keeping information relatively off the grid or, at least, sanitizing what information is out there so that people only see what you want them to see.
| Also the understanding that not all progress is necessarily good, nor necessarily for the benefit of the average person.
| Technology serves not the average person, nor even the creator of the technology, but special interests who funded the creators to create that technology so it could be used for their own, specific purposes.
And those purposes are generally going to shaft someone, somewhere.
| Learn programming to please our future robot overlord.
Jokes aside, cyberpunk always remind me to never get too attached to virtual stuff. People will get attached to this blissful vr world and forget that at the end of the day reality is what makes us "real".
| It made me learn that life is hard with or without technology
