If the internet had never been invented, do you think your life would be better or worse?

[PointlessNonsenseGuy]

You personally, not society as a whole.

BETTER

WORSE

BETTER IN SOME WAYS, WORSE IN OTHERS

NOT SURE

I was very reluctant at first to get and use a cellphone. But now I can't be without it because I need the internet for so many things. It is a tremendous help to me.

I don't use the internet's social media sites except for GaG because I like having my mind in tact and normal thank you very much.

[sage2021]

Thank you for the MHO🙂

Tough question... if you said social media I would have totally said better (yes i am a hypocrite saying this on a social media site) but the internet as a whole? No I think in balance the Internet's positives out weigh the negatives.

If the internet hadn't been invented, then other things like cellphone capabilities would also probably not been invented. Things would be better in terms of privacy from govt snooping, and also a higher level of morality. But in terms of convenience and instant info-gathering, it would be better

I'm old enough to have lived before the Internet existed. Some things were better then, like personal interaction. Some things are better now, like the ability to search for information.

I have benefited from the internet. Forced to grow in a country that was "academically" far behind my birth country, the internet played a huge part in my catching back up and flourishing.

Worse. We wouldn't end up here attacking persons based on their political opinion, trolling people, or getting AI telling you whom to vote for and altering photos!

[LaurenM1997]

Better as life isn’t all about social media or phones for that matter

[JohnathanK]

Worse.

Internet gives you something to do when your bored or there's nothing on TV.

[ApplePie409]

Worse.

[avery58]
