Have you missed me? Well, I've been here all along. What? I'm weird? No, you are the weird one internet...
You're always there, but only on your terms. You have limitless potential, but you have become a wasteland of porn, hate, and misinformation. You can be a powerful tool for keeping people connected, yet they "connect" in isolation.
I see your effect everywhere in modern society. Politeness, grammar, consideration for others, and even shame are being replaced with rudeness, IM jargon, self obsession, and entitlement.
Oh internet...how did we ever live without you? I can't remember anymore. I better look up "life before the internet" on wikipedia.com. Hmmm, wiki comes up blank...almost as if it doesn't know there was a time before the internet. Or maybe, the internet is re-writing history. Think about it. Those of us born before the internet are dwindling. Soon, no one will remember...
Oh internet, you so crazy...
