Tech addiction.  I think that is the root cause of why
the world is like it is today.

With the internet, we have all become our own experts.
On everything.  We can diagnose our own selves, and find
out what is wrong with us.  And then have plausible
deniability when we find that we are right and everybody
else is wrong.

What will we do without the internet?  We would all be lost.
Truly lost, not knowing a thing about anything ...
