If you were a member of the laptop class and didn't live in a draconian city it was probably pretty nice. A lot like being in college. You barely, if at all, had to work, you could hang out in your home and do whatever you wanted, order food delivered, binge watch all the shows, drink or do drugs, spend time with family and friends as long as you kept it discrete.

They got what we all want... to be left alone.
