Enshittification of the mind

Here are ways that I think I've been broken by often interacting with the world digital-first since a very young age:

If I hadn't been able to learn so much on my own (when the free web worked), would I now be better at asking questions in conversation? Of learning directly from someone? Of reaching out for help? In 2000's forum culture, asking a google-able question was discouraged by users snarkily responding with "let me google that for you" links. I backported this to IRL social interactions, saving google-able questions for myself later.

Would I be better at talking with friends about what I've been up to if I hadn't posted "stories" of my daily life for a decade? Social media stories acted as pre-set menus of conversation. "Oh, I saw you did ____! How was that?" I never had to remember my own last couple weeks of life highlights because the other person would do that for me, and me for them.

Would I be better at remembering the name of a stranger I meet in real life? if it weren't for having years of first seeing someone's face + name repeatedly pushed onto me by Facebook and Instagram. 2012-2016 Facebook recommendations meant I usually was already aware of someone before I first truly met them. At jobs, I encountered most people by first seeing their name + photo in Slack or a Calendar invite before I had ever spoken a word with them.

If I hadn't taken the easy access to information for granted, would I have internalized more of what I read? Would I more confidently know the exact years that an important event happened, or the fun fact that I had read about in an article without having to then search for it again mid-conversation?
