I am not giving up on the internet, but I have slowed down quite a lot in the past 5 years. I check very few sites anymore, I no longer game on multiplayer. In fact, I was even content being on a 50MBps internet plan. But, my ISP stupidly got rid of that plan so I find 100MBps too much for someone who isn't going to utilize all of its speed. I don't need anything beyond 100MB anyways.
Been online for over three decades, the internet has helped me in many ways, but it also has made me feel the worst of ways. Like having incredulous bouts of depression that yearns for yesteryear's internet because today's internet is all noise. It's just noise and nothing truly innovative has been made that is interesting. Everything that gets made, all serve means to increase advantages for those that cause problems.
If it hasn't happened already yet but I predict within the next 5 years, all I'm going to care about is just streaming and e-mail checking. I'll just join the old crowd.
