Is one really on the internet if they’re trapped inside a tech bro walled garden. The situation seems quite terrible now that people have to be told how to go to a URL as simple as cbc.ca. It’s not like the internet was recently invented. This is a developed nation and one of the earlier to widely adopt internet usage. Here we are teaching people how to browse to a website. What a mess that big tech has made.
At some level I can’t really blame the tech companies for making it convenient to browse through their sites, but rather how they have used it to track and influence people. At some point everyone using the internet should have learned how to find websites they find it worthwhile to visit and use their critical thinking to identify whether a site is trash. That skill hasn’t changed in decades.
