Social media was a mistake and a phone camera is the worst invention of our lifetimes.
We destroyed society for absolute shit.
Phone cameras are actually pretty cool imo. Social media was def a mistake tho.
But for a time, a few shareholders got super rich! So totally great tradeoff, 100% worth it.
I disagree. Advertising with a tracking component was the worst invention of our lifetimes. Or, if you are really old, possibly advertising in general. It provides 90% of the incentive for companies to want all your information in the first place.
Almost nobody would undo the internet, but plenty of kids would undo social media (ONLY if it meant deleting it for all their peers, self removal doesn’t count).
