Then your judgement is wrong (source: I know what I believe): I do believe that Internet is great, mostly to share information and knowledge (not to watch TikTok or build more ChatGPT-based useless crap).
But then I do believe that most modern technology is bad: we went into this loop of building more crap on top of old crap because it is profitable, completely missing the actual problems we are facing as a species.
We don't need to send (rich) people to Mars, we need to save life on Earth. But engineers don't like this, because most of the fun and profitable projects today go in the wrong direction: they assume infinite growth, and no consequences.
But engineers seem to believe that if they don't work hard to help humanity destroy itself, then it means that they have to advocate going back to horses and no Internet. And in the meantime we are going (faster and faster) towards wars and famine - probably for us, quite certainly for our children.
