No, it hasn't. I tended to think that the Internet, or more specifically social media, brought more harm than good to the world and society. But now I don't think it's true. Tech connects people, it shows us that people on the other side of the world are actually the same like us, it gives us instant access to almost all existing information and knowledge, it easily solves problems that were almost unsolvable before and it has a chance to decentralize power and brings us more democratic society. Tech have some problems but still, it's amazing.

- tgv 6y ago> it shows us that people on the other side of the world are actually the same like us Newspapers and TV showed that message before. That did seem to go well. And shutting down parler and gab also seemed to work. Perhaps connectivity is not for the best in all cases. > it easily solves problems that were almost unsolvable before I don't think internet has solved that many problems that were almost unsolvable before 2000. > Tech have some problems but still, it's amazing. The atomic bomb is also amazing, but it's a menace anyway. Tech needs control. A lot of it.
