So today's theme is one there's one photo from burnout, which loosely translated is abandon hope. All ye who enter here. I don't know if that's the right model for the Internet or not. But that's one possibility. Here's another quote from Martin Luther King Jr, who was accepting this appointment, but never lose in the midst. In other words, it's hard to keep the big picture in mind always reminded me of that this morning. There's setbacks. And then there's teaching. Oh, the reality is the worst of all people because it prolongs the performance of man. So the hope. So once again, if I could ask a couple of questions, so here's your QR code for today. So simple question, is there more now than there was 20 years ago?
So those are interesting results here. Right. So the majority here was same. And but it's pretty close, less hope. 28%. More hope 33%. Let's go to the more specifically to the Internet. So here's our next poll. Has the Internet made the world a better place? Yes, no, or I don't know. Yeah, no, that's true. I don't know can be same, I guess, are some curious about people's thoughts on that as well.
All right, so those are some of the results that we got here. So it looked like the most frequent one was communication, but a lot about education, awareness, knowledge, connectivity, those are some of the big, bigger ones, but nothing that really sort of blew everything else away communication sort of being the biggest ones. But interesting, expanded empathy is an interesting choice. Because one of the things I did you in trying to prepare for this opening was I went into barred right, Google's chatbot, and asked this question, and everything that it came up with as ways the Internet has improved and had caveats for so it was very neutral about the value of the Internet. Well, there's this but then there's this there's this than this, this I mean, you know, I mean, I remember, the governor of Ohio, came on during the pandemic and said, I don't know how we would have survived the pandemic, without the Internet. And I understand why, right, I mean, I really enjoyed DoorDash and, and, and the others, you know, remote communication, etc. But I have to think that if some of the old newsman, like Walter Cronkite had just gotten on television and said, Everybody stay in your house for two weeks, the whole thing would have been over. Right. I mean, the Internet played a very interesting role, I think during the pandemic, so. So that's our discussion today is about hope.
