No, the Internet has been a godsend in my life, and one of the things I'm most grateful for.
The people I knew in my little town—well, I could take them or leave them. The people I've found online—incredible people. My favorite people, I met online. The best music, the best books, the best movies. All of it. From the Internet. Living in chatrooms in eighth grade. Playing Runescape at 12 with my pals into the wee hours. Getting to read enormous archives from Pitchfork, NME, The Wire as a music-desperate high schooler.
And then later in my life, the access to knowledge, the access to people... Bloggers that outpace professional literary reviews in education, understanding, and prose. The friends I met in Slacks and Discords. The person I care most about, besides my partner—met him at a Twitter meetup, we both blogged. I spend all day these days on Google Scholar and Wikipedia and listening to incredible podcasts, thousands of hours of access to the thoughts of incredible people.
Sure, I'm not so hot on Instagram or Facebook. Don't use either much, can't say much about them. But the Internet? As a high schooler? Incredible.
