If you don't use the internet you might as well be jobless
bet
It is an integral part of society now
for a reason
For ease of communication and speedily tracking transactions, etc, yes
It's obvious why it's used
No one saying the internet is bad is arguing it hasn't improved the efficiency of society
Internet insanely increased the advancement of science
Right, so, people are going to be talking past each other. Everyone agrees the internet improved the efficiency of society and scientific discoveries, etc., but not everyone agrees that __those__ things are good.
Or, at least, that those benefits don't outweigh the adverse effects
People are really saying "Internet good because technology" and the opposition is saying "internet bad because technology"
should be arguing about technology
from what view point?
advances in technology brings new tools to the table for humans to use them however they want/can
so
i think this conversation will eventually lead to a debate about human nature and morality
When you think about it, that's what most any argument boils down to
eh true
Internet was ultimately better for spreading ideas and connecting people, but it has degenerated everything we do
Our children are fucking degenerates
yeah but not nearly on this level
internet just helped expose the degeneracy
the internet is just a more sophisticated telephone
more like a newspaper
but sure
true i agree
basically the medium itself is not bad, however the ways it has been used, due to a lack of any control really, it has become the wild west
we need to delete the internet and try again
the issue si the people that won this wild west are degenerates
theoretically, you can't *really* regulate the internet right?
You could, but at this point the feat is beyond monumental
like
if your country only had one internet provider
that was controlled by the state 100%
and you lived in a totalitarian state let's say
the average citizen still would have ways to access the open internet right?
You can tunnel around basically any firewall. It's just becoming increasingly difficult as that technology increases
I'm virgin.
VPN
Or TOR
