Was the world better without it?
I love the 'information superhighway' as it was once known for information and connection.
I grew up having to walk to libraries (using microfiche or books) or read newspapers and magazines if I could afford them, for my information, especially current affairs.
TV was sometimes available but the limited channels gave a narrower bias than these days.
I was dependent on 'experts' like doctors for diagnoses (or the occasional book written by these 'experts').
A lot of walking around shops to be done too (which of course the internet is killing).
There was also the option to ask people questions and try to sift their sometimes dubious replies.
However, it facilitates crimes to a rather horrendous level.
It also isolates people and childhood appears to have drastically changed because of it.
What do others think?
