Without the access I had to the internet I would be significantly lacking in terms of learning but also extremely isolated from any forms of socialisation outside of my immediate family. I cannot help but wonder what hope kids in my situation would fare like with this kind of policy in place.

As a teenager I was intensely isolated from my peers. I had been removed from education by a parent and, along with my siblings, spent all my time at home. I had little in the way of homeschooling.
The internet, and in particular social mediums, ended up giving me a lifeline. It was my connection to the outside world and gave me a way to socialise, as well as signpost me to subjects I could then look up and learn.

Wishing an enjoyable and relaxing weekend to everyone who doesn't design electronics enclosures for washing machine manufacturers...
