I'm not quite to "the internet was a mistake" levels of luddism but I do believe the following are corrupting, in order:
Obviously

- Targeted advertising
Probably
- Media streaming
- Push notifications
Maybe
- Graphical user interfaces

Wow!!!! A friend shared these pictures with me. It's a custom hand made wire wrap Apple II in a gutted PC XT clone case!
Found on the "Retro Microcomputers, Workstations, Servers and Consoles" Facebook group.

My first ever Castlevania was The New Generation aka Vampire Killer/Bloodlines. I had microcomputers growing up so only ever saw Castlevania in occasional mentions in gaming TV shows till then.
It's still a pretty special game to me as that first experience and a damn good one too.

microcomputers are like microplastics, we're putting them in everything and we still haven't figured out the long-term effects

Shifting personal computing to a service after 20 years of capable microcomputers in our pockets should alarm folks more.
They really are trying to sell people on perpetual subscriptions to modern living.

I think hearing how Hopper talks about microcomputers is very relevant
If you've never seen it, highly recommend listening to this talk by Grace Hopper. Very fun to look back 40 years later. youtu.be/si9iqF5uTFk

It's why there's often such a gulf of awareness and understanding from them that quite a few young folks are already into older tech, old microcomputers and coding and Pi-based tech and old web stuff and have their own circles and scenes.
