The internet has dumbed us down. We can’t socialize with people the same or spend quality time as much and the same as we used to in the past.

Social media makes us compare ourselves to others and question our choices and self-worth. We waste most of our time looking at screens.

And here we have AI tools taking away critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. If we depend on it too much, we start to lose our ability to think on our own.

We have become more impatient and demand everything quick without putting in much effort. Even thinking and reading have become burdens.

Yes I’m aware this isn’t everyone and that it’s always up to you to make the most out of the internet, tools, and resources at your disposal.

But the harsh reality is that most of us consume more than we create.

And sometimes it leaves us in this position where we question our abilities and current life circumstances.

It’s not just the internet, social media, and AI tools. It’s other forms of excessive use of screens such as video games which is one of the common addictions.
