Does she also think CO2 emissions are measured in gigabytes?

In my country, a then 74-year-old politician seemed to think that in this interview.

When Internet communities were still a relatively niche thing and I (preteen to early teen) was already on the Internet, I had great dreams that in the future everyone would be on it and this would cause society to be awesome.

Everyone is now on the Internet. This has not made society awesome.

??? Must be something specific to your instance. I am seeing no effects of word filters.

No, that is not what I'm saying, mostly because I don't think it is true. I'm saying that nowadays there is nearly all kinds of information one can think of somewhere out there on the Internet; but if it is only in relatively obscure places and you don't know where to look for it, then it is still de facto censored by having too much other information out there.

Things the world needs:

  • ~~governments regulating the Internet more~~
  • some others

On the Internet, censorship happens not by having too little information, but too much information in which it is difficult to find what you want.

We all have only so much time to spend on the Internet and so necessarily get a filtered experience of everything that happens on the Internet.

That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about biology to dispute it

I am fine with my current salary. None of the problems I have are due to having too little money. It is more that I have hardly any time to spend that money and live a fairly lonely life. None of that would be fixed by a higher salary, which is why I have little motivation to try to get promoted.
