Great post. I have spent 25 years on the internet in various capacities and I am very aware of the effects the internet has on people, including myself. I took a class called Reflections on Technology, in 2014 when I was working on my B.A. at UMass Amherst. It was fascinating and enlightening. I was one of the few people in the class that was already aware of a lot of the stuff we learned. Everyone who spends a lot of time on the internet would do well to read some Sherry Turkle or watch her great Ted Talk - "Connected, but alone?".
