Really? The world is worse off because of the Internet? The Internet has been the single best thing that has happened to the world ever. Information is effectively free now. It's given limitless opportunity to billions of people everywhere in the world, regardless of class or wealth or social status. Largely, the Internet itself is not discriminatory. Sure, it has its downsides, like misinformation, and 1 in 10m people getting locked out of their accounts. I lost my Google account, which was tied to my phone number (Google Voice), a few years ago. It sucked. But, honestly, it wasn't even as bad as losing my license. I'll take free information for that.
