The Internet is more of a source for bad than it is good

Thank for taking up this debate and what I read I really liked your responses. Sorry about the word count. Keep forgetting to increase it to 10, 000. Even if it may be the case for most. . . great purpose in life. I mainly created this debate because it has personally impacted me but will keep it out if I can. About finding purpose in life. You can find purpose in anything. The more important conversation would be whether or not the person will be healthy purusing this purpose. I would say any long term usage of the internet makes you detached from reality. This is bad because not everything can be done online and when we do have requirements to meet offline the dopamine levels would be incentivsing to carry on using the internet rather then going to sleep or eating. Sure you can have food right next to you and some people are even able to sleep next to the computer but it is not a healthy lifestyle. More than likely this person eats fast food or something that is easily made in order to reduce time off the internet and the brain does incentivise as well. Why would you want to make your own food when you are taking more time off when you are happy? If the goal of life is happiness then we should all reduce the amount of time spent on something that does not make us happy and increase it on what does. Sure that is not the worst way to live your life but there is a limit to what a person can do on the internet. It will be difficult to change and not use the internet in order to buy groceries or have a goodnight sleep. This will make the person unhealthy but they are still happy so they do not mind. Another problem with having the consistent frequency of happiness from one thing over a long period is that the happiness you derive from it will lessen. An example would be eating your favourite food. I like chicken. If I aet chicken every single day eventually I will get bored of it. That is also the case with using the internet. Sure there is much variety but you will be accustomed to the things you already watch because it would be too much work find something else you like which in turn makes you less happy when finding new things. Hopefully that was not too much to read. There's no contest in finding the answer as to why those who are "internet addicts, " live unhealthy lifestyles. I am still keeping that in there even though you agreed with me. I said earlier can do some good or find purpose in life that the active and social world wouldn't. I would fit here but there are problems with this. When someone does want become socialble it is difficult to interact to people. Starting off as sociable or being sociable for a longer period of time is much better than being anti-social. Anti-social is hardly a trait needed to enjoy stuff on the internet but socialble is required in order to be good at communicating with people. The Internet does not support such a thing and only helps feed people's desires. Finding purpose in life does come at a cost and I would say having a primarliy internet focused lifestyle is worse than finding meaing in a more traditional job. Reason is a traditional job requires more effort which in returns in some way improves you as a person while giving you a healthy does of dopamine whereas on the internet since everything is so efficient your mind in some scenarios cannot cope with the level of information and happiness you are gaining. You can have a Steam account, Twitter account and a Youtube account. When you are bored of Steam just go to Twitter. When you are bored of Twitter go to Youtube then the cycle can start over. Meaning there isn't a moment of relaxation instead there is instant gratification and why would people turn this down? They don't which is why there are many weeabo's on the internet which turn down their culture for the Japanese one for a internet based Japanese culture. Not a weeabo by the way. I would have an Anime profile picture if I was. YouTube personalities like Markiplier or UberHaxorNova in exchange for teaching him how to curse Watched Nova when he was making Minecraft videos. Now from time to time I watch CowChop videos. Guess somethings do not change. Gave him a comedic personality to make friends for the first time at school. Fixed with a like-minded people instead of what people actually think. It is like with furries. They have these friends that also like furries but become oblivious of people who do not like it or stay away from them meaning it becomes a crutch. Sticking to a sub class like that does not help in gaining different viewpoints instead reinforces what you already like. The downside of this is people becoming far lefties and the alt-right. If no one's tells them how bad they are how are they meant to change. Sure this can happen outside the internet but more than likely in a job you would have to deal with someone who has a different opinion. Which means you are not oblivious to different opinions. About the school thing. Sure you can find people who also like something like Fornite or World of Warcraft but then that just leads you to become addicted to those games and not being in touch with reality outside the internet. Children would much rather stay inside and play Fornite then go outside and play. Humans require sunlight excersie etc which will be lacking when playing Fornite all day. This isn't helped by bad parents and lack there of direction in someone's life when they have to find purpose. Their parents let them play all day and they want him do something with his/her life. The parents have screwed their childhood and since as adults you are in control of your ownself are left with the burden of past mistakes like gaming all day and bad parenting which is sad really. By the time he was a teenager in middle school he had begun to take some political opinions that oppose his parents after looking around and finding some obscure ideas from people like Xexizy, Armored Skeptic, And learned history from Feature History and History Buffs. By the time he's a freshmen he is now an atheist and a socialist. Guess this would be me as well but I am more envious of what I could have become without being addicted to the internet. I was good at sports and had the potential of high grades. When my first computer came along I was drawn to it and never left while my parents just mostly did not care. Yes now I have a better understanding of the world but that came at a cost. I am not sociable and find it difficult to do stuff outside the internet. This has affected my grades and people who I knew. Yeah sure I played my favourite games but I miss out on being more stable instead of being addicted to the internet. After his senior with some help from friends and advice from online friends he played with on Steam, He comes out to his parents as a homosexual. Steam is great. I am not a homosexual but I do understand how the internet does help you comes to term with being gay is not a choice and realising opposition comes from Religious people who can be your parents. Given the situation your parents disown you, Accept you or maybe never talked to you again. Guess it depends on the situations. The internet gave Jason an anonymity and place of privacy where he could learn who he was and how to express his thoughts. People need relief sure but with anonymity it gives less meaning in their actions. When saying your gay on the internet is less meaningful than telling your parents. Most likely you have been with your parents longer than you have been on the internet. While in contrast if he had been an extrovert and got his news and political views from the mediaThe only thing I think to make an extrovert the best option is if there is the condition of being open minded. This allows the person to be able to have their mind changed. It could help them become a better person or find out who they are. I find that difficult to believe.
