Both

Neither

Should have included this in the OP.
Pro:
It allows people to get their own news from their own sources

Cons:
Pornography

this pretty much.

It's a bad thing.

the blue light of your monitor damages your eyes
you become easily addicted because of marketing techniques
it gives you ADHD
you have everything at your fingertips, so you have less patience and are less focused

and plenty other reasons. I wish I was free desu

I think it's more good than bad. The bad is mostly toxic people, but those are everywhere.

I mean our species is doing as well as it is now from improving means of communication, sharing info, and archiving. The internet is another level of this. Once we become more globally aware, then we can understand each other more, and especially past the language barriers.

Also, the idea that a big chunk of our anthropological records for the past 20+ years have been stored on computers, that might not exist if there was a fallout is kind of neat.

>I wish I was free
Mee too, chap. Is it even possible, though? Everytime I tried to brefk free I was met with resistance from either Americans or the media.

The first time I found out about Reddit it seemed like pointless thing to me but yet it captivated me and even though I left it for about 2 years I still returned. Depressing, really.

it's really hard when you have nothing else to do. you feel the huge gap internet/computer left.

the internet is beyond good and evil
it just is

what we have is an enhancement of our perverted drives
pornography, addiction to information, constant need for feedback etc are not the invention of the internet

it cannot purify us nor can it destroy us, it is the modern life made compact

why do you think all these totalitarian countries tries to control the internet? would you say those places are a force of good

your logic is flawed, reroll your life

>Cons:
>Pornography
Fucking what. How is pornography a bad thing?

>it is the modern life made compact

purge

Her face animation is creepy af.

We wouldn't be here having this conversation if it wasn't for it.

It isn't.

so what ?

I wish I've never touched a computer ever desu.
I know people like that. They just have plenty of things to do and are not interested by computer, internet, or at least they browse for less than an hour and then return to their many occupations.

I never asked for this
I had a happy childhood until this fucking machine arrived
why am I so dependent

ask those people if the internet is bad

I am coming from this:

Watched it on Netflix a while back and it is really good documentary. Shan't be giving shit to Americans on their documentaries anymore.

>They just have plenty of things to do
Like what?

I don't know. gardening, taking care of the house, hobbies, sport, being social...

wow really makes you think very deep and thoughtfull thought i didnt know about that

I'd go back it that were an option.

t oldfag who grew up before it.

>gardening, taking care of the house
But it's shit. There is no fun in that.

sure but you'd rather live in a hovel ?

I mean people just have to do that, it's not an alternative to spending free time in the Internet.

>It allows CERTAIN people to get their own news from their own sources
Fixed
Most of the time, normies don't even bother
Instead of being fed state-regulated news from TV only, they eat it the whole day around
Not to mention dumbass social networks having such a grip on your average person's life, the bandwagon effect, the lemming mentality, and you have the best brainwashing tool you could ever dream of
SJW insanity would have never spread so far and so wide if it wasn't for the internet

sure but what I was giving were examples. I'm not the one you should ask for what to do

My point is, there is nothing really to do in real world.

russia please

That's true.

too much can fuck up your sensibility

he's right
t. addicted to censored hentai

Too much of anything can fuck up you.

Both

1. If good men are dominant on Internet, it's good.
2. If evil men are dominant on Internet, it's bad.

So far, I am for #1.

Internet gives reason for me to live, I would say it's a pretty good thing.

I can't stop masturbating to fully clothed well-behaved women.
Please send help.

The Internet is good but anything that promotes your ego is bad. Social media, youtube comments, Sup Forums, it's all very very bad.
