Brain Rot Reaction
#early-adopter
Parents used to say “it will rot your brain” when talking about video games. With the rise of arcades, Boston refused to license video games in residential areas because kids spent too much time playing Pac-Man (it inevitably ended up in every home anyway). In the 1995 experts thought the internet had no economic importance outside of chat and pornography. Believing that too would rot people’s brains. Whatever the old way is set to know better. Despite the initial impulse to shun new technologies, the video game industry is a market worth more than $300B. The internet has created economic opportunities too large to even measure.
