    The internet is bad. Sure we get cat videos and we can have conversations on Hubski

And Wikipedia. And videochat with people overseas, twelve hours ahead or behind you. And talk to experts from all fields of science and beyond. Comparatively seamless file sharing. Online multiplayer. Book ordering, for god's sake.

The Internet isn't bad. It's a tool. It's how people use it - or abuse it - that matters, and this is what we should talk about. Don't blame the hammer for not making you a house.

Not arguing with the rest of your comment.
