        The internet was a mistake

        It brought a lot of good, but it’s destroyed multiple generations ability to concentrate and interact in good faith. I don’t think we’d necessarily be better off without it, but I think the world might be a better place

          I’d recommend you read up on the multitude of distractions people have had when talking outside.

          During normal conversation people rarely looked eachother in the eyes.

      I thought parents from my generation would be better equipped to ensure their kids have safe use of technology but somehow they are even more clueless than my parents were. Yet my grandpa has dementia but can use his Linux computer to bet on horse races online. Most people are just not fit for internet exposure or computers and phones in general and will get more fucked up by it and there isn’t any realistic solution.
