Screen addiction, phony social networks, and virtual interactions: all leading to the atomization and isolation of people from one another. People once had to communicate with each other mostly in-person and had to develop an ability to socialize. The internet snatched civilization destruction from the jaws of progress.

Magical realism and kids inventing their own play games in remote or poor villages is what happens when they don't have the internet to destroy creativity and distract people from using their imaginations.
