I’m not sure if I’d call the internet itself a net negative. Somewhere around the time it was incepted it was fine. Exchanging emails and whatnot.

But what it has become now… I dunno, I regularly have calls with my family on the other side of the world. That’s definitely a positive. Everything attendant to the internet I do not like. The way it’s become nearly a requirement of life.

But would you have moved so far away from your family if you couldn’t have kept in touch with them over the Internet?

Probably, yeah. Phone calls would have sufficed. Video adds something, but sending regular letters and pictures would have been fun in a completely different way.
