What If.

there's a lot of IFs in this world, no doubt about that. every single fucking day we will whisper to ourselves, what if this.. what if that.. what if i didn't turn down that blowjob.. what if i'm into weird fetishes like those fucked up japanese and the list goes on and on. after dicking around on the internet for almost the whole fucking day, one article i read inspired this post.

i found this little gem on the internet today, as i am html-illiterate i'll just paste the essential part that proved to be thought provoking for me, and hopefully for you. honestly i've never thought of the internet to be a bad thing. free pornos are always the best no matter what you think. IT IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, that free porno is arguably the only thing that transcends race and religion and all of humanity can unite by upholding the divine code of appreciating free pornos through the internet. *cue in john lennon's imagine*

QUOTE START

Now, author Nicholas Carr posits a new theory. In "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" he notes that he and many of his literary friends report the same experience, leading him to wonder if the Internet is not rewiring our very brains, not altering the hard drive of the human computer. The culture of hyperlinks, blogs and search engines that return more results than you could read in a lifetime is, he argues, changing the way we read and, indeed, think.

You hardly need me to sell you on the benefits of the Internet. Sitting at his or her desk, the average human being now has instant access to a vast universe of information a previous generation could not have begun to dream.

But what if the very vastness of that universe, the very fact of so much out there to know and so little time to know it in, requires a trade-off in concentration and focus? I mean, we may have more options than ever before, but we're still dealing with the same 24-hour days we've always had. And the Internet does little to filter or prioritize the information it retrieves - it simply dumps it on your head and leaves it to you to figure out. So perhaps it is to be expected that we learn to skim and scan information but lose the ability to truly absorb and analyze it.


QUOTE END


give it a little thought and it might just ring a bell.. loud enough to spend a chill down your spine. enough of those bullshit "advantages of the internet" that your high school teachers and even college lecturers force you to write an essay about. just maybe, it's time to look at the internet from another perspective.

i for one, waste almost all my time dicking around the internet even though there's a lot more stuff to do.... like, dicking around outside the house. wait, i think that makes no difference. anyway, there's just too many stuff on the internet nowadays. knowledge accessible to us is too vast that if we don't pick what we wanna learn, we'll just end up wasting those information away, our brains aren't computers after all.

examples
1. read through each beatle's biography countless time and still can't remember their birthdays. thus, no birthday wishes to people on my msn's personal messages, yet.

2. watching so much porn online i sometimes i re-watch the same shit and not realise it. only by the time i see someone's (the female's, i'm not a fag although alotta fags wish i was a fag, heh) face get riddled with cumshots then i wanted to kick myself for wasting time.. watching porn. the same porn. again.


furthermore, i've noticed that internet slangs/abbreviations have slowly crept into verbal conversations. i plead you all to NOT fucking go on freak mode when your friends suddenly say "lol", literally while conversing with you. evidently, this has become a social disease. more on this another fucking day.
