The internet has actually exceeded my expectations in how a revolution it would be. It was sold to me as: you will have access to all the knowledge at your fingertips, and it is mostly true. And by the time I thought of a traditional computer you have to turn on and sit in front of, not something that is in my pocket and accessible 24/7. You may talk about "fake news" and all sorts of falsehoods, but debunking these have never been easier, not only the truth is usually available, but there are is also information on how to do the debunking. I realize now how much bullshit I heard and believed in in my childhood with no easy way to fact check. Distance seem almost like an abstract concept now. Here I am, in France, writing to you guys in the US like you were my neighbors. In fact, it is sometimes easier to communicate with someone on the other side of the globe than with my neighbor. I like to travel (guess how I book my plane...), but not by necessity. So, sure enough, the internet didn't change human nature, but for me it was world changing enough to be compared to something like the industrial revolution.
