@feonixrift the internet connects me with my friends, coconspirators, and loved ones. It provides a gateway to the collected wisdom of the last two generations, and a large swath of all recorded history and literature.
I can learn ancient wisdom (how to make ink!) and modern wisdom (how to make a computer not suck!) And I can publish my own facts and entertainment.
The internet is great, and vital.
Facebook, Google, and the rest, are the problem.
