Uhhh, sure about that figure? I mean, social media certainly doesn't rank high but I don't think a plausible majority would do without the internet entirely, and few would roll back every benefit they receive from it.

If we can get rid of social media but keep things like Wikipedia, then sure, keep a few things.

But if it's all or nothing, fuck it, i'd happily pull out my old Samsung flip phone and paper day planner.

Anything is better than the miserable corporate nightmare that social media has turned the world into.
