Do you think people would open their eyes and become more neighborly? Would it free people to actually talk to their friends, go to actual events in person? Or is everyone already entrenched too far?
And yes its ironic im posting this online. However I like to think of how the world would react if we could disable the internet for a few months. Besides the chaos of banking and airlines, I think it would be a net positive on humanity.
Until then, ill go back to being mostly disconnected on weekends. Its great.
We were, least I feel so, on like the sweet spot of the internet in the 2000s. That balance where, it wasn’t entirely encapsulating yet and there was room for more real time off from it.
Since then, things are too entrenched to where, if we took the internet away now, people would probably feel too disconnected. Too disconnected to the point of utter depression and withdrawn into themselves. People are too damn glued to their Facebooks, Twitters and TikToks to give a damn.
