haha, don't get me started on the way the social medium of the internet has ended up harming our ability to communicate.

Honestly, it should do so much to improve how we see each other and the world. We are the first generation to be able to communicate across any boarder and meet people anywhere in the world, yet we already take it for granted.

The internet can cause literal revolutions around the world to people who first receive it, but to those of us who grew up in a technological age we see it as nothing more then a mere extension of what we already own.

We use, but do not understand, the single most powerful tool ever invented by humanity.

All the knowledge, the art, the history, every person, every place and every thing is now at our finger tips...so why do we fail to see this world changing tool for what it is? a chance to grow, not as people, but as a society.

So instead we swear at and troll each other, we fill comments with nothing and have no interest in meeting other people when given the chance.



...I guess I ended up getting started on this topic after all

Haha wow...i feel the same way... I mean I didn't have internet up until like two months ago, and I think personally that out society is COMPLETELY technology-reliant. I mean most people would say they have "nothing to do" if their internet went out or if their computer broke or something...its ridiculous how's much society is DE-evolving. We're given these amazing, news-breaking things, and no one realizes it. I think the things you van odo with modern technology is amazing, but instead people misuse it and completely take advantage of it.
In fact, once I had an assignment for school where we had to look up answers on the internet, and me- not having internet- asked if I could use an encyclopedia, and me teacher said "Those things are useless, they don't tell you anything." I mean if people can't even allow you to use substitutes for technology, that education will go down the drain...soon, instead of answering questions, they'll just say "Google it!"....ok so maybe that's ab over exaggeration, but I still feel that society has become 99.9% technology-reliant.

Well...in any case, I've ranted for long enough now

We're the first society that has used technology as a substitute for intelligence. Often times people will claim to know something, when what they really mean is that they know where to find the information online.

I find the effect of the internet on society to be fascinating for this reason, like you said, it ends up being a situation where all the knowledge and power in the world is actually detrimental to us.

That's not even getting into the way anonymity affects people and has given rise to "trolling"
