I agree mostly with this take. There are aspects from that time I'd like to return to, but for the most part, this poll comes across as far too simplified. I do however, think that social media was a massive mistake and has played a major role in the increased division, hostility and hyperpolitical landscape the world now finds itself in, and I'm not sure how we come back from it. I do believe we are far too connected these days, but it isn't a simple issue.

I personally believe the centralization of social media and the internet in general will be seen as one of the world's biggest mistakes in the not too distant future, especially once its (already quite apparent) impact on the mental health of the younger generations becomes widely-accepted and acknowledged. I truly wish for an early-00's internet landscape again, but I know this will never happen.
