Too much

Thinking about Lanier’s argument that the old web is better confuses me. I don’t think it is fair to say that one version of the internet is more harmful than another because really it is all what one personally chooses to do with it. I could simply use the modern internet for research not necessarily all social media things. Or I could have used the old internet to search people’s personal webpages all day. I think that the more the internet progresses there are good parts and bad. With a more advanced internet we have the ability to learn all sorts of wonderful things. I can learn about a Queen Alexandra's Birdwing Butterfly, what they eat, their mating seasons, all sorts of things in a matter of minutes. That’s the great thing about the internet, obviously there are some negatives, and people do useless things and waste hours on the internet doing dumb things like surfing facebook and pinterest.
