Does anyone else here constantly shit themselves thinking about how amazing the internet is? Even when I'm not thinking about it it constantly amazes me as to how much the internet has influence over our daily lives. It is virtually impossible to cut yourself off of it's influence in one way or another.

It constantly amazes me that something with such a simple premise of "hey let's connect these computers through a virtual network" (all new words that had no meaning decades ago) and opened a Pandora's box of learning, resource and information. At first we were like "I don't know what the fuck to do with this", and it gradually evolved into sharing information about anything to videos, music, social networking, criminal organisation etc. It's amazing what people do and the ideas we have when we're connected.

Here I am having a philosophical bullshit rant at 2:00AM waiting for a game I purchased to download. Before the internet I'd have to physically go somewhere to get what I want. Now it fucking amazes me that ANY information that can be housed through a digital medium can be downloaded through a computer at my whim. Same goes for news articles, music and learning resources I'm constantly in awe of the type of information and what people get up to on the internet.

I didn't start using the internet in my house until like maybe 2007 and I remember seeing Harry Potter and those moving newspaper pictures and thought "wow that will never become a reality". In essence it's true because physical pictures can't move but it's been replaced by something so much more superior that updates in seconds and where things are archived and if you look hard enough you can find almost anything. No more of this burning of the Library of Alexandria type shit where humanity will have lost knowledge. I am so grateful the internet exists as a time capsule of what humanity is up to good and bad.
