The Man who sold the world
I was watching some crap music channel on sky tonight with the wife and stumbled across a tune…….it did not really strike a cord with me until my ears perked up to one of the lines in the song, which was something like …
“What if there was no internet”
Got me thinking just how much I take the net for granted.!!
I whack it on before going to work to check e-mails, can not do anything at work until I have had a coffee and booted my PC up.
Spend a lot of the day chatting to you bunch of wasters instead of doing what I get paid a lot of money to do.
Get home, check my e-mails…..make dinner and then chat on the Zone, Face book and various other Internet based forums.
What the Ferk did I do before the internet? What would I do in my life if someone pulled the plug on the internet?
You know what I honestly think? My life would be richer in every aspect. I used to have a lot of fun before the internet existed, I used to call my sister and mates on the phone to have a chat, I used to pick up books to find out where a certain county was or how best to cook a duck breast. I used to exercise my right to investigate things with out just googling it..
Granted, no one can say that the internet is not a good thing, it provides information beyond the realms that we could have ever imagined 20 years ago, but is it a god thing? It may assist you in your exams or wanting to find something out quick and easy, but does it make us lazy?? Should we be going down to the local library to gain the information and knowledge that we can gain in seconds on the internet?
In Short, is the internet a good thing? Could you cope with out it, does it make you lazy??????
Did you miss it during the 60’s 70’s 80’s and some of the 90’s??????????
