“The good news is you can get a lot of information off the Internet for free and in a hurry. But I think the breaking up of the media, which is otherwise kind of healthy, has contributed to less actual reporting and a louder, more contentious, more divisive public discourse, highlighting conflict, sometimes falsely.” ThinkingKindSometimesMediaInformationInternetHealthyConflictNewsDiscourseGood NewsPublic DiscourseContentiousHighlighting Author:William J.

“Thank God the Internet didn't exist when I was 15, 16. I knew people were tearing me apart, but my God, if there had been a net and commenters and I would have been reading them - it was bad enough as it was. To grow up in the media eye, I'm glad it happened, but that was definitely not healthy being around adults all the time.” PeopleEnoughEyeReadingGrowing UpInternetHealthyGladThank God Author:Emma Forrest
“I'm fortunate to have a hilarious, fun, brilliant family that I love spending time with that keeps me in a healthy head space. The internet can be so enthralling in a bad way, in a toxic way, where you feel like your brain is submerged in this sewer and you can't climb out of it. The main thing is spending time with real physical people who remind you who you are. It can be so tempting to believe that you are who the internet says you are.” PeopleBelieveRealFunBrainLike YouInternetHealthyWho You AreBrilliantSpending Time Author:Lindy West
