This reminded me of this song which actually shows the extremism of things in Internet. Welcome to the Internet - Bo Burnham: [VIDEO] "Y'know wasn't always like this, not very long ago.. just before your time.. right before the towers fell.. circa 99 this was catalogues, travel blogs a chatroom or two, we set our nights and spent our nights waiting for you." "It was always the plan to put the world in your head." "Could I interest you in everything all of the time? Apathy is a tragedy and boredom is a crime. Everything and anything all of the time" Bo Burnham is amazing. Another (interesting?) song is jefferey bezos song [LINK] [Bo Burnham: Inside - Jeff Bezos] Recommend everyone to watch both music if you have the time and the first one for sure.

I just watched Inside [1], where Bo Burnham creates a wonderful, funny, sad and thought-provoking "Special" about our internet culture. Highly recommended. This is one of my favourite songs now: [2] It's a bit crazy when I think about how different our generations grow up and it makes me a bit sad that our children will have a completely different understanding of what the internet is. For me it was a place of wonder, freedom and self-expression. It's different today, but even I have problems explaining how it changed. But it definitely lost some if it's playfulness on the way.

"Apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime" - Welcome to the Internet by Bo Burnham[1] This new song from Bo's covid-lockdown inspired special "Inside" hits this right on head. The Internet, particularly when paired with mobile devices just tries to suck up so much attention, because that's exactly what we made it do. [1] [VIDEO]
