The internet. You've probably heard about it at some point. You probably think it's the same as the world wide web.
That's good enough for now.
Email, browse and be merry for tomorrow we get a virus.
Automatic updates will always nag you about rebooting at the most inconvenient time.
Beware the
AOL user for they are the truly clueless.
Give everyone an equal voice on the net and you see what true democracy is like. Roughly the same as a school playground shouting match but with slightly less intelligent participants.
Give a man a movie and he is happy for a couple of hours. Give him a broadband connection and you won't hear from him for weeks.
On the web following the standards is optional. Having correct grammar is illegal.
If you know how to search you can find virtually anything within 5 minutes.
No matter how well you know how to search the first thing you look at will have nothing to with what you were after.
Pick the most insane conspiracy theory you can think of. There is someone somewhere who not only believes it but has also created a web site dedicated to revealing the truth to the rest of the world.
You are never as anonymous on the net as you think you are.
Intellectual debate and critical analysis of proven facts are all well and good but what people really want are their preconceptions repeated back to them. Well that and lots of porn.
