What a bunch of drivel. Do not even know what to say.

"predictions that the Internet would revolutionise the way society works have proved wildly inaccurate."

To me it fucking wildly accurate. It did revolutonize a lot for me. Yes I know some people would get a heart attack if they could not show to the rest of the world what did they have for breakfast. Not my problem. I only had good from the Internet so far.




I've had mostly good, but I will be the first to admit that the internet sucked up a lot more of my time than would have been ideal. Most of the benefits I get from the internet are not how I use the internet in my day to day life. Like you said, not your problem, but when talking about this in the context of the masses using it as they do now, you get 2 outcomes: people withering and dying while staring at a screen, or this entire industry collapsing catastrophically.
