The internet has done wonders for bullying.... Now instead of dealing with 1-2 bullies in school kids can deal with 1000s!!!
It's also really great for the identity theft industry.... Was it 150 million people who forfeited their identity in the Experian data breach? That's like 1 out of every 2 Americans!!!
My favorite thing about the internet is reading the comments on any website, not just political sites, and to see people saying things to others they would have never said face to face. I love how mean everyone is becoming when they go online.
I also love how many parents prefer playing on Facebook rather than spending time with their kids, or their spouse. Pretty cool, huh?
The two Facebook execs that recently came out and said they never imagined they could create a website that would **** with billions of people's minds.... They were probably wrong too.
Hell I'm playing on the internet and driving right now.... This is so awesome!!!
The internet is also an amazing communications device that can spread news in a matter of seconds, and I can communicate with someone across the world with a touch of a keyboard. The internet has allowed for innovation exponentially, and has advanced human society and technology greatly, it has also saved lives and allowed normal people with talent to express themselves!
You are really fn stupid if you think the internet is bad. You can CHOOSE to make all of the decisions you mentioned.
Case in point.... You'd have never called me stupid in person. I'd probably pummel you. 6'3" 215 lbs and in shape.
It's ok though. I blame the internet, not you, for cultivating an environment where you can feel comfortable flexing internet muscles behind that screen of yours. I was raised in a time without the internet where it was rude to call someone fn stupid... Even if they are.
You also must not have read were I said the internet is great in many ways. As a whole though it's made most people more stupid (3% of people under 35 go to Facebook in an effort to get their news yet 67% of people under 35 get their primary news from Facebook), more depressed (plenty off studies on this), and more addicted to their next dopamine hit (it's like crack!!). I'm looking forward to VR getting so big people won't even leave their homes anymore.... They'll plug in a head set and pretend they're some avatar in some alternate reality digital world, rather than live in the real world. Zuckerberg had said VR is the next big thing. Skyrim just came out with a VR roleplaying game...I hear it's amazing.
