One of the many reasons I believe having unrestricted internet access at a young age has ruined me is how little knowledge I have on the goings on of my own country. I have a basic understanding of Croatian politics, sure, but it pales in comparison to what I know about American politics. I always felt that being "worldly" would allow me to have a dense bank of knowledge I could use to positively affect my own surrounding, but I forgot to actually pay attention to that surrounding. Now I have to play catch-up which is honestly a little embarrassing for me considering I'm twenty years old.
