What If Wednesday is a feature dedicated to answering questions from Piccadilly’s 3000 What if Questions. Filled with both “absurd and realistic” questions, these are meant to inspire thought as well as act as a writing prompt.

What if you grew in your parents’ generation…

What do you think you’d like the most?

The lack of social media and technology.

I truly believe social media has negatively effected our current generations in a way I don’t think can be prepared. While I loathe generational wars or even comparing generations, I feel I grew up in a much better time mainly because we didn’t have the internet. If I am being honest, our modern world of technology scares me. Between the scams, social media garbage, and just…everything that comes from just the surface web alone, I genuinely wish the internet was more regulated. That may be an unpopular opinion, but I have my reasons for it and I don’t think that will change any time soon.
