That's the ideal. The problem is there is so much disinformation and poor information that finding reliable accurate information is more difficult and requires effort that the majority don't make.

Having the world's information at your fingertips is great, but having people actively trying to dilute or distort it is not.

That and Trump speeches, but still...

While also tracking everything you do.

Also SO MANY TITS

Yeah, and those companies would turn out just like them.

I can't believe I didn't mention how important the internet and 21st century technology is to Gen Z. While it certainly has its harms, it's been vital for the spread of information, and we kind of just grew up using it daily like most, but since almost birth.

Just to epitomize that, I learned the windows shortcuts (control c, control v, etc) before I learned how to tie my shoes or ride a bike and I had classes that taught Java coding in junior high.

Gen Z is what you get when people grow up with the ubiquity of the internet and a bleak outlook.

Only Gen Z that's hyper involved in certain forms of politics(and you'd find people of any generation are pessimistic when they're involved in those same forms) like most Gen Z on here. I'm Gen Z, and of course so are most of my friends- we're pretty optimistic. But, I guess, generalizations based on generation have always been pretty meaningless.

It's like saying "no pun intended" on an online post that you very clearly reviewed, at least enough to add in the "no pun intended" part.

Yeah I didn't know at first but now knowing who it is, the need to punch is now tripled.

I mean look at that fucking grin! That's a grin of "hue hue, I am CEO of a multi-billion dollar tech corp and I know my corporation has such a stranglehold on a lot of things in the internet world! YOU'RE ALL MY SLAVES TO MY SERVICES PEASANTS!"

Thanks!
