The internet democratized information in ways we're still grappling with. Yes, it's created real problems - privacy violations, mental health crises, the collapse of local journalism. But it's also given a voice to marginalized communities and enabled movements for actual social change. We can't uninvent it, so maybe the real question is: what are we going to do with it now?

It's funny because the people who complain the most about how 'bad' the internet is are the ones posting about it on Facebook for three hours a day. We're all addicts pretending we're victims. At least cigarettes came with a warning label.

Look, it's neither best nor worst - that's not how technology works. The internet is a tool. Misinformation spreads like wildfire on it, but so does critical medical research that saves lives. We can access any knowledge instantly, and we use it to watch cat videos. That's not the internet's fault, that's us.

The internet's basically ruined my attention span, not gonna lie. But then I video call my grandma in Australia every week and she gets to see my kids grow up, so... maybe it's a wash? Hard to say it's the worst invention when it's literally connecting me to people I love across the world.
