The internet was a mistake.

  >Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans. The internet is great, how we use it may not be. I don't have twitter, rarely delve into comment on most news sites and Youtube. Browse and sometime comment on Reddit and here. I prefer here, less shouty. When you are able to talk to thousands or millions of people without having to have connections, its a wonderful thing. The friction arises from a number of things; contrarians who love to argue, trolls, governments/companies who are trying to influence opinion but also people who have a genuine different opinion and are unwilling to listen to the other side. I did enjoy the internet more when it was younger but at the same time, there was a less diverse population on it then.
