In terms of the amount of information you can take in, sure. In terms of the psychological damage, I’m not so sure. There was plenty of harassment and bullying on BBSes. As I said, I got harassed. I had also developed a ‘fuck you, I don’t care what you say’ attitude to pretty much anyone who decided to be a dick to me by that point, so it didn’t really affect me, but a more insecure teen? Just as many problems as social media today I suspect. There were just less kids doing it.
