The internet is one of the most potent technologies ever created. Partially this is the great interconnectedness it provides, so that almost everyone can find not just valuable information, but something like community, at least in appearance. The drawback, of course, is: you have to use the internet and the internet sucks. Many are left with the unfortunate “aftervibe” peculiar to the internet. A hungriness or “twitchiness” for more content (read: dopamine), a depersonalization from your own body and environment, a difficulty focusing on the next task at hand and connecting with others face-to-face, general discontent with your immediate life—many more could be listed, but in short: despite the fact that you're no longer actively using the internet, you are still online. The spirit of the internet is still there, the patterns of machine logic have been worn into the grooves of our latent thought.
