And did that improve life? Smart phone addiction, doom scrolling are huge problems. As well as people always stuck in their echo chambers thanks to having them with them 24/7, spoon fed by AI algorithms to be continuously outraged at others.

I don't have a smartphone btw, saw it coming, ditched it in 2009.

You have more knowledge available in your pocket than a whole country has stored in libraries.

The amount of useful information in real books makes internet information look like trash. Wikipedia barely scratches the surface of many topics. For example, you can either read "Wars of the Roses," that is 512 pages of history detailing the English Civil Wars, or you can read the maybe 30-40 pages from Wikipedia, which lack a lot of context. Yeah, the internet has more information available, but that information is hard to find, and often low quality. For every one useful website with legitimate information, these days, there are thousands of pieces of disinformation out there. The internet doesn't give you knowledge as much as it gives you disinformation. 

The internet has everything, including the lies and garbage. Real books try their best to have truth.
