What? Are you seriously gonna say that television and Internet weren’t a massive boon for society regarding education/knowledge sharing and social exchange? You’ve such a negative outlook on life if you honestly believe that.
I remember when people would tell you things and you just had to say OK cause your only refute was to hop on over to the library and find a book as a source.
And pre-Internet, when would you ever communicate with someone outside of your little town? Sure sign up for a penpal or some shit like that, but the ability for me where I am on the shitter to write this comment to you is INSANE in the broad spectrum of the human race.
In the heart of the empire, same as it ever was. I mbin “boosted” your comment, because it’s the same old pipe dream they’ve always sold us that we keep buying, with just enough “good” hits to keep us coming back, as I elsewhere.
If done right and well, it most certainly could. But we aren’t doing either.
It’s the old tech shill’s shell game.
“This is what we could have!” (Note: could have. Not what they’re working toward.)
Television was once hailed as a boon for education. How long did that last?
The Internet was once hailed as a means of learning about each other. Now it’s a source of ever-increasing vociferous division.
All of this is purest fantasy because the people pitching it are shit humans who don’t want the future they sell to us.
