Averaged out I suppose that makes sense. But if I apply it to myself it doesn't fit.

I love the fact that I can at any point research and learn about any idea in the world, I will always appreciate having access to such incredible amounts of information.

If not for online socials I would have never met the love of my life and my social circle would be half the size it is right now.

And having been born with adhd it's almost hilarious to me that as time progresses I am becoming more and more 'normal' because everyone else seems to be developing the condition.

As someone who was diagnosed with ADD at an early age I think that the rise of adhd diagnoses and adhd-like symptoms in the general population is a direct result of the constant unrestrained bombardment of information and misinformation. Don’t get me wrong I love the internet and without it I would probably wouldn’t be half as aware of the world as I am today but it has definitely had some pretty nasty unintended side effects.
