You are completely entitled to that position.Pretty sure you are 100% wrong.
Think logically dude. Think about all we gain by having instant global communication on a large scale. Not everybody is some ignorant jackass that can't figure out the difference between good information and bullshit.You are completely entitled to that position.
(Even though you're wrong)
But most folks aren't using it for that.Think logically dude. Think about all we gain by having instant global communication on a large scale. Not everybody is some ignorant jackass that can't figure out the difference between good information and bullshit.
You can put a device in your pocket that has access to pretty much all known information. Do you honestly, seriously think we are better off without an unbelievably useful tool like that?
I can't believe you're serious right now. I really want to get through to you on this one. Do you think we need everybody to be using it optimally for it to be an incredible boon to our species? Most people don't accomplish much. Some people change the world though.But most folks aren't using it for that.

I've lived without one in my pocket my whole life and plan to continue living without it in my pocket. Better off? I am. I have an old flip phone in my car for road trouble. I have a desktop in my work room. That's all I need.Think logically dude. Think about all we gain by having instant global communication on a large scale.

You may be better off without a smart phone, but do you think you'd be better off without the internet in general? You might not have it in your pocket, but you have it on whatever device you're communicating with me from. And what of humanity?I've lived without one in my pocket my whole life and plan to continue living without it in my pocket. Better off? I am. I have an old flip phone in my car for road trouble.

Honestly, when we moved out of Seattle, our housekeeper started driving the 65 miles to visit and help me with house and garden chores. After 10 or 12 trips, she still could not find our home without GPS. I see that as a major handicap. Some day that grid will go down and the zombies will be pinballing off of one another, trying to exist as the human beings they had become when they had the Holy Glowing Rectangles in their hands 24/7.
The internet is important, I agree. I use it for a lot of my work. Just keep the Holy Glowing Rectangles away from me.You may be better off without a smart phone, but do you think you'd be better off without the internet in general? You might not have it in your pocket, but you have it on whatever device you're communicating with me from. And what of humanity?
The internet is a miracle for communication and education.
It's a lot bigger than just you or me though. There are a lot of gifted people in the world that don't have a lot of access to information. What the internet is doing for humanity is profound. It's still a new thing. A lot of the world is still offline.Miracle? I did very good work before I ever owned a computer. I just do it differently now.
We could survive without electricity and running water if we had to. Their usefulness is pretty hard to deny though.Could we survive without tech? If the answer is "No", then we're in deep trouble.
We could not survive doltIt's a lot bigger than just you or me though. There are a lot of gifted people in the world that don't have a lot of access to information. What the internet is doing for humanity is profound. It's still a new thing. A lot of the world is still offline.

I think we fundamentally differ in the fact that I am vehemently opposed to collectivism, so I don't care if "It's a lot bigger than just you or me". I don't care if anything is bigger than me. I am the center of the universe. I could give a shit about the collective.It's a lot bigger than just you or me though.

Both of us and our families will benefit as humanity becomes more educated and prosperous because of the internet.I think we fundamentally differ in the fact that I am vehemently opposed to collectivism, so I don't care if "It's a lot bigger than just you or me".

My family agrees with me and your family is none of my concern.Both of us and our families will benefit as humanity becomes more educated and prosperous because of the internet
That's alright. hahaMy family agrees with me and your family is none of my concern.
The internet is largely disagreement and name calling and NEVER has achieved it’s potential of educating the masses with better information toward prosperityBoth of us and our families will benefit as humanity becomes more educated and prosperous because of the internet.
