I would turn off the internet in a heartbeat - so long, not nice to know you - if the cost is nobody ever reads another word of mine unless it’s handwritten in a letter, so be it. This opinion comes from someone who is not a tech-phobe, has run a digital magazine, and knows enough to know how much I hate all the stuff like social media and AI that will soon make everyone tethered to a screen rather than the actual blooming, glorious, falling-to-pieces world around them.
End of rant. By the way, eons ago, before the web, I had a job that would have been perfect for you, Michael: I was a software developer for an educational publisher, and my job was to break programs to uncover all the bugs - basically to do what little kids do, punching random keys or options - I could usually break raw programs in seconds. Programmers don’t think like children or bona fide human beings.
And I definitely prefer CDs - you know, *albums* - to any streaming music system. Have a nice day, says ChatGPT with real authority 😉

I'm guessing that job no longer exists, but man I would've crushed that gig.
