Really, after all this years of computer technology and the internet, what good came out of it? That it can outweigh the bad.
People are dumber and misinformed. Social media is a cesspit of fakeness and product advertisements. Software improves profitability and takes away jobs. Unparalleled potential for mass surveillance.
I often wonder this. I love computers and the internet but when it comes to quality of life I don't see much imporvement over when I was young and the world was still analog. I mean I would not want to live in a time before electricity and definately before plumbing and sewer. a nice metro line is great and well as geared bicycles. libraries to. can't really say much from the computer age really is all that great.
Trying to remember how the world was before computers and the internet. It was really hard to look up information yet that you didn't have in your own home. You had to hop on the bus and go to the library searching through several books. That's one Google search today. You hadn't had the access to music, films, and so on. You can listen to nearly every modern song on Spotify versus those few CDs you had on your home or the songs that were playing on the radio. If you want to watch a movie you can do that. You do not have to wait until it's showing on TV with at breaks or go to some kind of rental store. You want to go somewhere, just fire up Google Maps, versus buy and paper map, figure out where you are, and still get lost. Global communication is free. Just remember how expensive long distant calls were and how you lost contact to people who moved away.
The internet and computers really have made everything easier.
No absolutely not everything is on spotify. And Google is not a search engine anyway. We gave them the privilege of their brand becoming a verb and now they're a corporate surveillance monopoly. We absolutely botched it here. Same with facebook.
We can search to get a quick superficial view written by whoever and now AI vs reading through a book to get a comprehensive view by someone who studied and has a reputation to defend. One doesn't substitute the other. The internet merely allowed for the lazy masses to pretend they could get away with not reading, which worked just as well because their boss needs his productivity/wages ratio in check.
You are so wrong, I really do not know how to respond to that. Yes, not every song is on Spotify, but you are able to listen to millions of songs there. That is more than your local record shop was able to stock
And yet id rather listen to the same ten records over and over again in my grandparents big old house than listen to anything at home in my tiny cramped apartment.
I'm wrong because you say so. Lazy.
