I've always been, bc it was obvious to me from a very early age where this was headed. It's deeply irritating (in an ironic kind of way) that one can do some very cool things with tech. I've (mostly) managed to avoid getting hooked.
But there was that one little box with a CRT on the front that made it •so• much easier to write fiction....

@cavyherd @dacig @JellyTBeagle I got hooked by the Internet in the eighties, but I also am quoted in an interview online in the 2000s as saying the Internet would likely become an unusable slag heap in ten years. My therapist was genuinely perplexed when I said meeting people online was the first time I was able to find acceptance, and a place I could avoid bullying. I know that's not people's experience now. The enshittification has been thorough.
