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

'Ello looks like we might finish this in a day! Alright allons-y. The paragraph for "I mainly created this debate. . . :" I agree that their unhealthy attachment will lead to these things where they choose a poor diet, Poor physical activity, Etc. If we're talking about the worst to moderate cases in severity that is, How attached they are to their computers, They will definitely see severe health problems develop. I really have nothing wrong with this argument as it's a pretty obvious and undeniable fact. Sitting on a computer all day, Is definitely not healthy. Now whether or not that is the fault of the internet, If you wouldn't mind me going back to the main purpose of this debate, That is different. One cannot exactly blame the entity of the internet for the choices of these people. Let's go back to probably the closest thing to the internet before the 1980's. Now for the purpose of this analogy I'm going to get a few things straight. First off, The internet, Besides being a global electronic network, Is an entity of information and variety. This is the key part, Information and variety. Now before the 1980's where did you have to go to get information? A library. It's probably just a sterotype but, This is highly possible given that the hierarchy of American schools haven't changed that much. While everyone is socializing in the cafeteria or the hallways or whatever, The "nerds" shall we say, Of the American schools, Stay in the library. A nerd sitting down in a library because, He is anti-social, Anxious, Etc, Will read books of fantasy, History, Realistic fiction, Etc. Not too different from what the internet is for. While a library has books on stories that the nerd can relate to, The internet has actual people sharing their experiences. Now. If they spend all their time in there just as a user may do on the internet, Will they eventually become less happy? Probably. They'll probably feel lonely, And if there are other people there, They might try to socialize only to fail, Or dwell on things that happened during the day and try to lose themselves in the world of literature. In the case of TL;DR, The precursor to the internet, The public library, Has about the same effects as the internet, To serve the same purpose to the types of people we're talking about. That might have been a bit too long. The paragraph on "Gave him a comedic personality. . . " I don't know how you would feel about me using my life as an example but, You can use one from your own or something similar if you want. But, This is the best way I can explain it. I have a friend in RL that is highly different from me, He's straight, White, Conservative, And we disagree on practically anything. What do we bond on? Video games, Music, Art, Etc. Just because, Someone is part of one fanbase or has interests in one thing doesn't mean they'll use their attraction to that in order to use it as a "crutch. " Some fanbases branch out to other communities and interests. I find this happens a lot with like the MLP or furry communities. These communities attract a lot of artists, Members of the LGBT community, And maybe on a lower note, People with mental illness. The older kids get the more they are kind of forced to socialize to adapt and survive Middle School and especially High School. Unless a kid is a sociopath or anti-social they shouldn't have any problem finding other things to talk about. But, As with most you've talked about, These worst case users that are actually severely addicted to the internet, They might have trouble. But, Just people using the internet for a slightly unhealthy amount of time, Are probably mentally clean. Everything else is fine until "I find that difficult to believe. " Why should it be hard to believe? The internet surprisingly has brought many acts of good to become reality. GoFundMe pages help raise money for cancer treatment, Court cases, And projects to help people pull themselves up by their bootstraps, With a little help. YouTube communities and fandoms band together in events in which one of their own has gone through harsh times. For example, Markiplier's health issues, "Jesus H Christ's" custody case, Angry Grandpa, Boogie's health problems and issues with depression. Even if some of these people had spent an unhealthy amount of time growing attached to these figures, Their attachment helped aid a collective community effort to help or comfort these figures or their fans when they go through hard times. Go down to the comments of any "My issues with x" situation and there will be those to talk about their own experiences with abuse, Depression, Bullying, Etc. Then the replies will mostly be by people who are highly empathetic and probably the same type of people. Now of course there is 4-chan, Reddit and all the cancerous batches of trolls that exist on the internet. But, Here's the thing. Eventually as you said with the chicken analogy, "having the consistent frequency of happiness from one thing over a long period is that happiness you derive from it will lessen. " This will happen for these trolls. They have lives too (no matter how sad) and eventually they have to mature. Now whether or not there are bots whether of a certain nationality or not, That's a different topic of debate. Basically to prepare for the final round. There is health issues that come from this, And active time on the internet shouldn't go unsupervised. But, Some good might come out of it. People can change, People can become more open minded to the diversity of the internet and come to accept that there are some differing opinions out there, And agree to disagree. People can unite around an idea on the internet and do some real good. But, Anyways I'll give it back to you now. Good stuff!
