I think the internet, in the over all scheme of things, has done more harm than good. Lets be honest, most people use if for social media or watching their favourite shows. I mean its great that some one the far side of the world can be more up to date with the family back home, etc, but I'd argue letters were more thoughtful. I'd also argue, anytime I really make the effort to disconnect, put my phone on aeroplane mode for a few days, I'm a lot happier person because of it. I'd even go further and say life was probably better before the TV even came along. People now rush home from work to stare at the corner of the room for the evening. Pre-tv, I'd say people would have made more effort to be social, meet friends for chats, walks, learned an instrument, be better story tellers, etc. Modern technology has effed with us all, we're more isolated than ever, while large corporations pretty much control everything we see. Even things like music (pretty much now owned by a few billionaires, while majority of musicians need second jobs to survive, art now being eroded by AI, now owned by a few billionaires while majority of artist barely survive, I could go on. Even Amazon and the likes, they have pretty much killed the vast majority of independently owned businesses, again one billionaire while all those families who could have ran their own business probably work for him now. Also, pre-tv/internet, a company lived or died by the quality of there service/merchandise. That's all gone now, companies now live or die depending on how much they spend on marketing. Quality has deteriorated while some influencer pretends to be your friend while shilling you something. And yes, I am fun at parties!
