Well said. Our society places want before need. Truly the driving force- and probably the reason adults are big children. In the end, a computer- like a brain- is yet another tool... and it is the person using it that can have a purpose or get lost in degradation. For me, no pathway is clear or easy- so I cannot say I've learned nothing from the negative and inappropriate functions offered online OR that I've not watched others lose themselves in want whilst their needs piled higher and higher- I can only say that we have many tools at our disposal, and therefore should ask ourselves why we seek to use them in the manner in which we do.
