Life Without the Internet...

....would be SO much better.
Allow me to shed some light on this subject. *evil grin*
Thinking about all of the people in history that I admire, people who accomplished SO much in a short time, I sometimes wonder if they would be the same had they lived in the age of the internet. Hahah, NO.
There is a reason that there are internet"oholics" groups. It's fun, and easy and interesting and makes you feel connected to the rest of the world without stepping outside your door.
All fine and good. Sort of.
People spend SO much time on the internet (myself included), rotting their brains with useless information and drivel. "Filling up their attics with shoddy and broken furniture" as Sherlock Holmes would say.
We could be spending our time learning new skills or speaking face to face with a friend with whom we would normally be "IMing" on the computer, or even just taking a nice walk.
Of course, despite the honestly terrifying amount of useless things on the internet, there are some good things. But mostly those involve getting off your lazy ass and using your hands and your brain. Things like instructions for knitting or gardening or traveling around Europe with little money.

Personally, if I had a remotely ideal situation (e.g. My best friend lived close by, I had a farm and/or owned my own shop, or at least it was easy to travel across states, ect) I would GLADLY give up the internet. But that's sort of impossible, seeing as I need Etsy to sell things, Gmail to talk to people and DeviantArt to discover new artists. Also taking into account the "internet friends" that I've made, whom I like very much... Oh well. *sighs*

Anywho, it's 2am and all of my steam has run out. La'erz!



Ironic that I'm posting this on a web blog, eh? *wry smile*
