The worst thing internet has taught to people?

I think it taught people that they can behave as assholes and they can get away with it.
No offense, I am asking this to people over 30, cause teens don't even know there was a life before internet.

It has made everything too readily available and desensitized us. It's tainted and devalued true romance, intimacy, subtlety and mystery. No filters or dignity, it's all splatted out there. It's created an illusion bubble for many to live in. Instead of dealing with the marriages/relationships, etc.. many come on-line to be placated or to fulfill "whatever" in instant gratification. There are Loads of studies done on the affects of too much time spent in cyber and they are not positive! It's changing our brains. Google it. 🤕😬

We have come far in the way of technology and took steps backwards in the way of intelligent growth, individual critical thinking, superficiality and self absorption.

@Magenta This one is probably you know very well, I can't agree more with the dopamine part.. He talks about millennials, but it is so true for everybody who are using internet heavily, or turning to internet instead of dealing with their problems.

@HighwayOh that's some reality. Haven't watched many videos, but read articles like this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/7967894/How-the-Internet-is-making-us-stupid.html

Oh yes, the dopamine part and how he compares it to alcohol addiction is wow. And that the over-use of social media/networking makes people more depressed and with lower self esteem. Yikes!

And, my female brain couldn't stop thinking about how attractive the dark haired guy in the other chair was?! Haha! 😊

@Magenta Thanks for BA. :-)

@Magenta oh wow, i didn't even noticed there was a guy in the other chair!! 😂

LOL, ok this is not Arnold, but when you google for Arnold this dude shows up too, about how he looks exactly like arnold, and more handsome than him.. ;)

@Magenta having information at our fingertips is a GOOD THING!

do NOT void the people from gaining knowledge. i'm against those who are against it.

yes, there ARE risks, that why people should guide it.

I know, it's a great tool. But my answer was based on what he asked:
The worst thing internet has taught to people.
