i mean, the internet isn't something you just give up. 50 years ago if you wanted info on something, a technical manual, a DIY tutorial, anything, you either spent 50 hours in a library just searching for the right book, wrote to experts and waited weeks for maybe unsatisfactory answers, or just cut your losses. today you can find all that with a few keystrokes. the internet being a bad thing is a meme overreaction to crappy social media; the raw access it gives to information of all kinds is nothing short of incredible.
