This is a YouTube video titled "The Internet Owns You — And You Don’t Even Know It" (created 2025-08-06). The excerpt is a monologue by a single speaker (labelled SPEAKER A) offering an opinionated commentary about society's dependence on screens and Web2/the internet — arguing that much of daily life (work, entertainment, money, even access to food) is mediated by the internet, likening it to being "in the Matrix."

You're already in the Matrix. If you have an iPhone and you spend a lot of time on a screen, you probably spend more majority of your life on the internet. People don't get this. You're like, I don't want to be in the Matrix. I don't want to put these goggles on. Think about it. Most people go to work, they're looking at a screen. Most people go throughout their day, their entertainment's on a screen, right? Whether it's social media or Netflix or a movie, you are on a screen most of the time. Not everybody, but most of the time. I'm willing to bet that probably approximately 1/3 of your entire existence is on a screen. All of your money is on a screen. It's in Web2. Everything you have is connected to the internet. If the internet went down, you would not be able to go to the grocery store to get food because they will go down. So if you buy food from a grocery store, then your health, right, your food consumption is reliant on the internet. Pretty much every aspect of your entire existence is internet-based.
