Do you think the internet has lost it's purpose ?

I don't know about the internet in general, but I know that social media has ruined the internet. It used to be about forums, individual people, and community. Now all that has been ruined due to social media and companies.

@Bri89 we need your data

@Bri89 I'm betting you're not old enough to remember BBSes, but they were great. Local servers, hosted on one person's computer, that other people could dial into, one at a time, and leave messages for each other.
Still connects people and is a place to share knowledge. However it has also opened Pandora’s box in terms of exposing us to the darker side of humanity, resulting in a lot of pain and suffering.

I don't think so, not yet anyways. We are connecting together right now.

No, it's super useful. I use email and online stores all the time.

Much of it yes, but not entirely, it still has some purpose. But social media has totally lost it's way and it can 🔥 to the ground and we'd be better off.

The original purpose of the internet was to educate and to bring people together. Instead, people use it to misinform and divide. So yes.

No, it makes a perfect tool to spy on every human.

Its everything we type, every video we post, it reads every e-mail, its knows what we are watching, what are location is, what are contacts are, it can control our cars, TVs, toilets, watches and more,

it can turn on the microphone and camera in cellphones, doorbell, smart TV, smart speakers, smart watches.

It also has control of your medical devices and vehicles now to.

But people keep buying the shit and believing that its private and secure.

But I'm just a crazy person that warned people of this back in the 90s.

See @Fairydust I do it to

Did it ever have a purpose?

@Patriot96 Obviously; otherwise it would have been developed to connected the world. There are zillions of satellites circling the planet to get us all connected.

@sree251 do you feel connected
sree251 · 41-45, M
@ihurtmychin Of course!. You are talking to me. You don't have to say much. Just be there.
