People are utterly terrified by the idea of something that could cause consequences if wielded improperly.

Or, stated another way:

People are terrified not just of accountability, but of potential, theoretical accountability.

Hyperconsumerism?

0 attention span?

Things are supposed to all be instant, temporary and ephemeral, nothing that implies the potential of long term consequences can be considered without a level of genuine terror.

I had never thought of it that way. You are absolutely correct on the accountability.
