It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
Needs everyone staring at a radio. Then a mass printed book. At one point there were people who thought books might damage women’s health by being too exciting.
That said, each of those things did bring legitimate unexpected social changes. The flattening of accents and Protestantism weren’t expected consequences of radio communication or printing, introducing new ways that people interact with information about the world just changes how they see and interact with the world.
There was a point in the past when society was concerned about people wasting their time on television instead of on social media or short-form video or whatever's du jour now.
If you travel far enough back in time there was a point where humans claimed that the written word would destroy societies. The idea of books would cause people to get lazy and forget things, because a book always remembered, so why bother?
And today? Well, people still burn books. But now it's intent is TO cause people to get dumber by the generation. Can't oppress todays youth in 20 years if they know how their grandparents were oppressed the exact same way.
And meanwhile the earth still circles the sun. Every rotation a full year later. Each rotation brings mass death, and mass birth. Out with the old, in with the new. The Eiffel Tower had been illegally solsld 3 times. London bridge illegally sold twice (and funnily enough once legally, with that bridge now in Arizona).
Point is, we're all just trying to scam each other and control each other. All with the same tricks that have been at play for hundreds of years. New technology, same basic concepts.
And tomorrow the sun will rise once again. Bringing another day of the same old shit. Just as it ever was.
Damn, I liked it better without text.
