To answer the original question.

Given past experience, through even stronger glasses than I wear now.

We might have to go meta-level on this one. This poster is probably a piece of artificially intelligent technology from the future. It is using time travel technology to ask us how we see it - anonymously. It must be very insecure. I guess the insecurity is due to being created by a bunch of nerdy tech heads with low emotional and social skills, and the technology learned by imitating them.
So, I ask the original poster: How do you see yourself? Be honest.

Excellent, now it will eat itself and free humanity.

Do we offer homework help by a certain dentist, though?

Resistance is not futile if they do not know you exist.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" (Arthur C. Clarke).

Yet, in my opinion, it will be more and more intrusive, and restrictive.

Intrusive: not so long ago, to register into a forum on internet on whatever topic a login/password combination was enough. Now, for some websites, a full unabridged copy of your passport is barely sufficient. Is the next step fingerprinting or DNA scanning?

Restrictive (1): nowadays, the trend in the information technology is to go fully electronic-no paper. Google has started a numerization program of books. But they don't scan all books. Question: who is choosing the books? what are the criteria? isn't this a form of censure? In the future, we may come to this : Not on the web? Doesn't exist!

Restrictive (2): the more our information becomes electronic, the easier it is to modify, or even falsify. Remember "1984" by G. Orwell. The government described in the book had a whole agency in charge of rewriting everything, even historical facts, according to the political views of the moment.
