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.

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
