One thing everyone can see clearly now is the identity war that the internet created. It puts a lot of stress on a lot of us, and it seems that we are all losers. It is not healthy for gaining knowledge or living in general. You can't read a book in a war or a race.
I also thought that reading some books on communication studies would be beneficial. It kind of made things clearer but without benefits. Understanding why a hurricane is coming toward you or how strong it is does not matter much if you don't know how to be safe.
But to be fair, of course, it is very difficult to predict this before dropping a network into society.
On the other hand, the modern world is built on top of certain institutions or crafts that require certain technical abilities. You can't acquire these abilities without focus and dedication, which seems to be rare these days among young people. If you want to watch TikTok all day and prefer being Messi to Einstein, you need to know that no TikTok if certain technical people didn't exist, and the same goes for Messi. Which most of the young people won't get. Which suggests that all of this will fall down in the long run. (can't be sure of course)
