Yeah, having lived in the world before the Web had much on it, when it was slow and inconvenient to use, and could only be used certain places (at a desk, with a computer), when a computer not connected to the Internet wasn't a useless paperweight, and then in the world after Facebook and the iPhone and the full blossoming of the spyvertising industry, web-connected cell phones and the modern attention economy are strikingly different. There's no comparison to books or magazines, however low-value, or even to TV or radio. It's a whole other thing, and overall mostly terrible.
