Kind of weird how the internet cuts both ways

For some education was too slow relative to the potential learning of the internet. But now the internet is hampering education

Meanwhile the internet is seen as an equalizer to dispense information globally. Yet software eating the world is siphoning wealth inequality into the hands of a few

Another: it's a medium for the most distributed uncensored encrypted communications, while also allowing intelligence organizations to pry deeper than they've ever in the past

So some days ago there was this article how todays teenagers are bored to death on their phone, and constantly swap between social media apps looking for some engagement.

There was a video to. The most amazing thing to me was that none of these teenagers even considered using the device to educate themselves, like reading an article on wikipedia or watching a documentary on youtube.
