That's a paper thin argument. Convenience is not an anti-depressant. Additionally, all of those things had pre-Internet versions that were just fine and in some cases were even superior. And none of them existing now necessary necessitate the rest of what the Internet brings. But none of that addresses the vast depth and breadth of the negative aspects of the Internet. Control, propaganda, data stealing, etc. It's just one level below The Matrix because we're all just human compute environments for corporations, criminal enterprises, and the wealthy. The Internet connects us in the most primitive way, connecting up primate emotional capacity, which is very low compared to some other animals, and encouraging short form content. The Internet has killed the way things used to be made, especially the arts. You can barely even buy things today. You just rent them continuously.
