Are computers destroying the world?
Well, as far as I've been able to discover, the Terminator movies were not documentaries.

The internet is good for some things but it is now destroying mankind, because we are letting computers take over.

The internet has so much false information that it's hard to know what's false and what isn't, which is very anxiety-triggering.

People no longer have privacy, everything's recorded. Someone could be in need of help but all people prefer to do is to film it rather than phone for an ambulance or help them.

The internet is destroying local businesses and it'd be sad not having that sense of community any more.

Too much hacking and scams going on.

Society is forcing people to use the internet more and more every day but when applying for financial support if you're unemployed, you don't get any help towards your internet bill because they still consider it a luxury.

As a form of protest I refuse to use Amazon and Netflix and other internet sites and businesses that are destroying mankind. It makes my life harder but it feels worth it to me.

I prefer to use my brain rather than revolve my whole life around a computer.

Please don't be annoying and call me a hypocrite for using WP all the time when knowing I dislike the computer era. Like I said, the internet is useful for some things but I don't let it control my life.



Doesn't it seem funny that the coronavirus mostly kills the elderly (the generation with the least knowledge of today's technology) but hardly affects children (the generation with the most knowledge of today's technology and are our future)? I think China wants everybody to become screen slaves sooner rather than later.

what happens when the puters no longer work?

The Internet is destroying the world...according to some guy on Utube whom I saw...on the Internet.

Thanks for putting a word in for my livelihood folks.

Blaming and fear mongering is not new. It was the same with books, comics, radio, movies, television. Now it's internet/social networks. Nothing new here.

Social networks don't make people depressed. Depressed people turn to social networks to cope.

Internet doesn't destroy the world, sh***y people use internet to do sh***y things like any other available tool.

Many things are already destroyed and ruined in the name of dependence and convenience, out of ignorance and apathy.

It matters not how. Or why. Or with what. It is simply because humans can.

And will because of demand, or that because they cannot let it go of what it is sustains that dependence. Or their idea of progress is.
Or merely because everyone else is doing it too.

Making humanity 'convenient' by making them dependent of said convenience is just one of the many ways to do it.


Computers are not destroying the world.
Those who are exploiting it do.

It is not about the rock.
It's the ones who's throwing it where and to whatever end.

I think humans are doing a good enough job, we have many tools that aid us and greed to be destructive, careless and wasteful.

I am so grateful that computers and İnternet exist. Back when i was a child i spent all my time reading books. If the internet didn't exist i would have much less ways of expressing myself and i would be much less functioning too i think. I would have committed suicide long ago maybe.
