On the surface, "does the Internet let you grow?" is a silly question. Of course the Internet has no say on personal growth. Yet, sometimes the Internet comes up with cool suggestions. Pandora plays a cool song, YouTube shows a cool video, etc.
However, I noticed today that YouTube is recommending dating videos that I don't watch anymore. Not that someone new is in my life, just that, I've changed my life outlook and don't watch that particular type of video anymore. Yet, in a small way, here's the Internet pulling me back to where I was just a few months ago. It's like modern technology put me in a mold, and I didn't notice until I took a step (and found myself no longer within the mold).
