> Outside of keeping connected with people (Signal, Whatsapp, etc), there really is no reason to use the internet except to gain knowledge (isn't that why the internet was invented in the first place? web 1.0).
Except online banking, using mandatory national digital id services, paying for stuff, applying for a job and you know a million other thinga that are completely digital.
> I don't mean time travel, I mean books. In particular, books that are pre-2010s, the earlier the better in most subjects.
Ok now I'm pretty sure this entire rant is generated by an AI using a weird prompt because there is no way that ChatGPT would output such a poorly constructed argumentet.
- lando2 4y agoYou're right about some of those services, except mandatory national digital ID is how they control you :) Books written before the era of social media (i.e. before 2008) are more likely to be written by people with authorative backgrounds on the subject they are speaking about, half the books written today are 'new york time best sellers' yet are written by social media influencers and the such. Quality of education is far below that which it used to be, across the globe. The university business model has switched from quality, to quantity worldwide. They accept masses into their campuses because it generates billions. If you believe the argument is poorly constructed you should provide counter arguments, not rant yourself.
