What do You love about the Internet...

LoL... am i going to have to move this to the sexuality forum?

I've used the Internet for some time...back when most people had no clue what an 'e-mail' address was, there was no Netscape or IE, everything was text based, and access was $14.95/month for 5 hours of SLIP/PPP access and 2.95 for each additional hour.

So...the things I love...

How a lot of people adopt alter-egos and do and say things on the 'net' that they would never do or say in real life. The internet allows people to be stalkers, subversives, bullies, 'e thugs', romantics, and many other 'characters' that some people can't be in 'real life'.

LOL, I love how everyone on the Internet is well endowed...or so they say.

I love how the Internet is truly a reflection of society. The things that we deny or say there aren't problems with, you can find communities for all over the Internet. THings that our society has shunned in the past are now open and transparent and must be dealt with, or at the very least, acknolwedged.

I absolutely love how parents use the Internet as babysitters. Then I read news stories on kids found with pipe bomb instructions, stacks of porno, doing porno online, ordering alcohol on the net...and here the same thing, "Well, these things need tighter controls". Noooooo, you need to be a parent......

Basically, I love how people treat the Internet as some sort of 'second world' that they feel they can remain anonymous in and do whatever they want with little or no consequences. It's great entertainment, for me at least, to point these people out and make them feel little...as I do in real life with the many phony people that work for, with, and around me.

Yes, I love the Internet.

Yes, I love the Internet.

And on that note.. I love how easy it is to stop using the internet...

All you need to do is simply walk away...

It's easier than you think.

Bob.

LOL. Now don't get me wrong, I love the internet for what it was intended for, information. I was about 14 or so when my step-dad told me of this thing, the Internet. At first I could care less, then he let me use it using his account and I was hooked. Information...loads of information. I now had access to learn about things that I never thought I could or never knew existed. To me, that was cool...I don't believe in limiting ones self and knowledge really is power.

But over the years, everything got perverted. People found it to easy to 'hide' on the net. All of a sudden, you could transform yourself from some overweight creepy slob into some Fabio looking person with 2 houses and 3 yachts. Then commercialism/capitalism came into play and it just went downhill from there.

I absolutely love the information I have access to and love meeting new, GENUINE, people. But the rest of it, why turn it off? It actually is a great source of amusement. Not that I go around flaming people or anything like that...but yes, I do like to give people something to think about when I think they stepped over the edge just a little much. I mean, for real world examples, look to China. They are creating 'Internet Anonymous' programs a la Alcholics Anonymous to address some of the very issues I mentioned. CRAZY, IMO.

The Internet. A source of information. Great source of entertainment. :thumbsup:
