Has the internet made the average human’s life better? As someone that lived in both eras I have to say no. If you want to improve humanity greatly and prevent currently 8.3 billion people’s misery and counting, you build a time machine and prevent Tim Berners-Lee from inventing it in the first place. But it wouldn’t help, because someone else would still invent this torture nexus of hyperconnected human minds.

Ask those who had no medical assistance before the Internet. Or ask Ukraine.
