I understand your argument. I had those experiences as well. Then I got high speed internet at 13 or so. Things changed very rapidly from there.

I really didn’t turn out ok. I don’t really want to go into details, but I turned out very far from ok. Maybe I wouldn’t have turned out different without internet, I can’t really know. I do know that I’m going to be really zealous in keeping the unrestricted internet away from my sons. And my girls, but for different reasons.
