Short Passage About The Internet

The internet is used as a tool to express thoughts and share ideas. The nature of the infinite scroll will desensitize you to what can or should be shared in what situation. seeing horrible acts alongside the mundane rewires ideas regarding what is or isn't truly appropriate. the effect that this has as a result leads to a spiraling inneficient use of time. It stunts growth and development.Time which could be spent furthering skills or developing relationships is instead spent scrolling and becoming trapped into petty and stupid argumetns. As a result, users lose sight of genuine issues and problems. this leads to aggression, and paradoxically, compliance.
