You equate comms with internet. Maybe you should talk to people IRL more often.

No one in their right mind believes that you can accomplish widespread, high speed communication via "talking to people IRL" like you can with the internet. It has become a very important way that we share information broadly, deal with emergencies, and stay informed. Going back to the stone age is not a good option at this point. But you know that, and you're just posting nonsense to have an argument.

I'm not sure whether this sort of comms is meaningful at all or whether "staying informed" is just the dopamine thing in effect. > Going back to the stone age Its actually 20 years ago. That's less than the median age.
