I want to write today. I have nothing important to tell. there are so many things worth talking about that it's probably better you just try Google. Google it - look up the information you seek. in less than sixty seconds you can find out all that you desire. does it scare you at all? does it make you uneasy that at your fingertips is an entire wardrobe of answers and secrets?
what's the word that means, scared of technology?
one minute, as i Google......
Luddites were 19th century English textile artisans.
A Luddite is referred to as those who are opposed to, or slow to adopt technologies.
also if someone has Technophobia they are known for their fear of technology.
Thanks Google.
over night there are thousands of changes made to content online.
hundreds of thousands, probably more.
the internet is something immeasurable.
it's like a milkshake and it brings all the boys to the yard.
at the moment, online in my area they're all talking about the snowfall, NFL, and maybe, just maybe The World Series. but what they're not doing online is thinking about why they're online.
because we go online to do something, find someone, buy something, learn more. we don't need a real reason we just need an excuse. and it's funny because the best part of the internet was once, pornography. at one point the biggest - no, best - part of the internet was porn.
or maybe it still is but it's also for being social.
Social Networking created a new planet to orbit the World Wide Web.
Facebook.. Twitter.. YouTube.. LinkedIn.. they're old news now.
someone posts a less-than-professional photo to their Timeline, another person's Bio pleads for 18+ Followers only, oh yeah, and Miley Cyrus music videos.
Social changed the porn game. nudes were more frequent and most definitely, always free.
access to the illegal, the taboo became so easy that they started their own communities; groups; lists.
on this planet, prohibition died. opinions reign and the more ignorant the better, it seems.
How did we ever let it get to this?
Did everybody suddenly start having amazing sex?
or did we all just get a little lazy?
Social changed the communication game. people now talk with character limits in mind. they try to keep engagement at a minimum; emotionally, physically. people don't want to look for the answers anymore. people want for the Top 3 Ranked on Google.
The Internet started as a candle that was fed to grow into a bonfire of epic proportions.
you are nobody if you aren't on The Internet today. it owns us it owns you.
and every moment we are making Digital Eye Contact with the devil.
