Every respondent below the age of 17 thought the internet was at least good, or had no opinion. The same can be said for anyone who was over the age of 26. Overall our written answers either said that the internet was good or that it depends on how it's used.

• "It all depends upon how the end use (human) uses the internet (tool). "
• "It can be both used good and bad, it just depends."
• "Lots of great potential, but wasted on clickbait and pictures of food."
• " . . . filled with its good and its bad, completely dependent on how you approach it . . ."

Although the majority of respondents were between the ages of 17 and 25 (52.2%), they constituted for almost 72% of all answers that were not “Good” or “Very Good” and constituted for 100% of all “Bad” or “Very Bad” answers, suggesting that they were the age group to see the internet as the least good. However, there was a large dichotomy between those in this group who answered that the internet was "Bad" or "Very Bad," and those who said it was "Very Good." The only other group to have more "Very Good" answers was our 13-16 group, which had slightly more.

Overall, those who were younger were more likely to choose "Very Good" as an option, with a strong correlation between age and opinion. Those who were 13-16 chose "Very Good" 41.67% of the time, in contrast to almost half of that for those 35-43 and adjacent ranges.

This data suggests that older people are likely to think of the internet as good, but not very good, and that younger people are more likely to think of the internet as very good but not good, in contrast. This suggests that yonger generations are more likely to like the internet more, though younger generations were also more likely to choose no opinion, other or unsure, or to even choose that the internet is bad, at the 17-25 range. Most people think the internet is at least good or neutral, but those between 17 and 25 are overwhelmingly more likely to think the internet is bad. Percentages stayed relatively the same between men and women almost holistically.
