What would life be without Lister’s antiseptic? Without papyrus credited to the Egyptians? Fansworth’s TV? As with any revolutionary invention, the Internet—undeniably an asset to humankind—is not the issue. The issue is humans, especially the mind controlling humans, and the ensuing moral and social conscience that dictates what and how much they choose to do with it that’s the issue. I can’t imagine not looking up google when I write my articles on my day job, or consult the Wikipedia as I coach my son for his quiz tournaments. But I grew up WITHOUT the Internet for 22 years and I was just fine, just went to libraries more, and did not know what I did not know. But, I’d not want that anymore, and prefer to live with the Internet and with some guiding principles. For example, I never google for health, ever. Everything leads you to think you’ll die, soon;)

I feel like it's impossible to imagine the world without internet now. It's almost my only form of communication in recent years since I've started working from home and introverting harder than ever before!
PS: I remember that scene from Leave the World Behind. That was a bizarre movie.

100% agree. We, the humans, are the cause and effect. Everything we do creates a consequence in our life.
Well said! Thank you.
