Which of these five things did the most damage to our society?

@LadyGrace Not to mention the lives that have been lost because of cell phones (e.g. car wrecks).

@shuhak Absolutely. Thank you for this important feedback

@bijouxbroussard I actually was hoping for that not to happen, though I guess you slipped it in.

@uncalled4 Fair enough. I’ll delete my reply. 😞

@bijouxbroussard just editing is enough

@ScreamingFox I'll be happy if you choose one of the five, was kind of hoping to stay within those.

P.S. AI will probably surpass that given time.

@uncalled4 IF people do not read your posts..........that may be because they are uninteresting to them. Not their fault. And controlling what others says .......or does........on SOCIAL media........is pretty unrealistic. ONLY a very controlling person thinks they can do that.. Consider...... if u do like controlling what others say and do to your posts..............that mostly backfires because most don't like that. And if they don't like being told what to talk about....and what they can't.....or you delete what they did take time to respond to ur posts.........................then they pretty quickly either block you or avoid your posts even more. And that cuts down even more on the number of responses you "think" you should get. Just sayin'. Controlling...........backfires.

@uncalled4 Yes you have. Now I'll avoid ur posts too. One less to respond to you.

@Iwillwait actually, it was the way we made hard drives. Before 2003 hard drive memory was formatted one at a time. It took 15 minutes and was going to exceed an hour very soon. In 2003 we started formatting the disks in mass and then installing them so drives could be finished every 3 seconds on each line. That drove the cost of memory down allowing for the creation of servo farms and internet providers like aol and ultimately Google. Currently there are 6000 formatting machines in Singapore. The machines have not changed much in ten years. Replacement parts can not be found. Solid state drives are gradually replacing hard drives but are much more expensive (24x). When the MDWs (formatting machines) encoder lasers die in the next five years from old age, that will be it.

@Tastyfrzz Good stuff, thank you for sharing.
