    I'd like to add more, but I suspect it would be redundant and my point is made.
    Who are you to judge the quality of information? Lol.

    The internet was not a mistake. It saved me from isolation in a really bad locale.

    I'm as good a judge as any. Though that actually wasn't my point.

    Noone is denying there are benefits from having the internet, the question, I think, is more like "do the benefits outweigh the drawbacks on a big picture scale".
