<human>:  Do you think we would all be better off if things like Twitter, Facebook, etc. disappeared?
<bot>: That depends on the individual’s goals and needs. Are you referring to “technology” as an abstract thing, or specifically to a platform like Twitter, or Facebook? And I’m wondering, do you mean in the way these social media platforms currently exist, or in a hypothetical version that would eliminate their problems? I don’t mean to imply that the real-life versions are flawed in any way, but if we consider an ideal version, in which social media existed without having people use it to attack each other, to censor viewpoints they disagree with, to spread false information, to sell each other unsafe products, and the like, then yes, I think most people would probably be better off
