    1. Ultimately

      I think this is becoming a bigger trend in the way people are thinking about technology and the media. Technology is getting so complicated that sometimes it feels like we are creating new things just because we can, not because we actually need them. Eventually, i think people might reach a point where they just don't want/need constant advancements, especially when more research continues to show potential negative effects to our health and well-being. Perhaps at some point having the option to step away from technology might become just as valuable as having access to the newest advancements.

    2. anything good could come of these same technologies

      I agree with the idea that technology itself is not the overall problem. I don't believe technologies are inherently good or bad. Ultimately it comes down to how they are used, who has control over them, and what intentions they are being used for. When considering AI, I think it can can contribute to many problems we see today, but it also has the potential to create opportunities to support a more open and accessible web. It all depends on how it's developed and used.

    3. At one time

      I agree with this section overall, however I do think the phrase "at one time" feels a little too optimistic. Today, it still seems incredibly difficult and arguably impossible to imagine large enough communities overcoming the extreme wealth and power surrounding these technologies. I think the point of this paragraph is to suggest that what feels impossible today might not always be impossible, however I think we are still very much living in that "impossible" moment, and it will take a huge shift in how technologies are developed and controlled.
