Trapped in the Net...

in this post i'm going to write about how millions of people have become addicted to the internet. & i dont mean just liking it, i mean actually being ADDICTED to it!! i'm not going to critisise anyone for it tho. in fact i would be the first to admit that i myself am addicted....

i just can't see how people could possibly live without the internet... can u believe that people actually used to go to the library when they needed information on a topic??? imagine that... when you need to know something like: when the camera was invented, you'd have to get dressed, go outside, get in your car, drive to the library, try to find a parking space, go in & look for the book, read it & get the answers you need... then you'd have to drive all the way home again!! i bet life REALLY sucked back then... more so than it does now...

& what about porno??? with the internet you can find free porno & find pretty much whatever you're into... however back in the ye ol' no internet days you'd have to go into a news agents, petrol station or video rental store to buy a porno mag or video & suffer the embarresment of a judgemental till worker looking at you & thinking you're a perv... again, life must have been pretty crap in those days...

but now, we have the net... a net we're trapped in. imagine if the internet just completely stopped working tomorrow... it would be just like that south park episode. the whole world would descend into chaos... the world would come to a stand-still... everything is done via the internet, & i mean EVERYTHING.

So has the invention of the internet improved lives, or has it doomed us all because of one simple fact: nothing lasts forever. one day, the inevitable end of the internet will come & panic will ensue.

so, i'm gonna try & enjoy it as much as i can... to me its a god-send... although its kept me indoors for a few years now when im not working & hasnt really helped with my anxiety problems, it has given me & millions of other a window we can escape thru... on the internet you can be anyone you want to be... if i told u over MSN that i was a 6'4" body builder with long blond hair & a tan there would be no way you could prove otherwise... you can be anyone & do anything!! (btw i'm 6'0", chubby with long blond hair but kinda pale, so i nearly told the truth there... it was just an example...)

& isnt it strange how you get a nice feeling from seeing what some ordinary person on the other side of the world is doing when they tweet it on twitter?? maybe i'm alone in that... or maybe not!! thousands of people use it so it can't be just me!! i am also addicted to tweeting, i do it all the time... & blogging, i love blogging, it enables me to get my opinion on stupid matters out there... before you'd have to write a book or send a letter to a magazine or newspaper... now you can do it for free, w/ the help of the internet...

but dont get too comfortable, its sure to disappear some time... possibly sooner than you think.....
