Isn't today's technology amazing?

It is amazing, but also a double edged sword... "click" and you are halfway around the world, but suddenly, you find ignorance and hate is everywhere! Sometimes I think I was happier when I could believe it was localized.

And to think when I was in high school we had pay phones…. And that’s about it.

Yes it is.

But it always brings the question of 'Should we do it just because we can?'.

My response is generally 'no'.

Look what happened with the internet.

Its intresting to hear people from around the world. I like it. I only wish it was used for good, over control more than it is.

Yep
Takes being pen pals to a whole new world

And they can block you with a keystroke!

“Even those who do not, or cannot, avail themselves of a scientific education, choose to benefit from the technology that is made possible by the scientific education of others.”
― Richard Dawkins, A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love

Really ?!?

I remember when I was in university I would skip class just to use the internet and marvel at its convenience. I prob wasn’t the only one either. It was always packed. It really is something.

It is breathtaking that a journey of 6 -10 hrs in the air, can be completed in a single tap.
Connecting the hearts and minds of citizens once oceans apart.

I called someone last week and after our call, they told me they were in Jerusalem...I was like Whhaa? 🤯 No way!

Yes and all the creeps, fraudsters and weirdos of the world have access to us 🙂

Back in my day we just had pen pals.

That’s the upside.

Hi from QC

With a dicpick

Its amazing , but so quickly we've acclimatised, taken it for granted and abused it .
And now some are even trapped by it.

If AI does take off, a humanity is gonna end up a puppet.

I wish more fully appreciated the www.

Yep that it is. That's why I love this place

Yes. It's mind boggling even in 2022.

Also with one click, we can send an unsolicited dick pic to someone across the world
