the internet and everyone that takes it seriously.
i hate this thing i have to type with. i hate this mouse i use and click with to produce images on a screen.
I hate how new words and meaningless things are being created through this.
i don't like how people stay on a screen with pixels for so long.
Life is meant to be enjoyed.
not sitting on a chair staring blankly at pixels.
Life was better off without the internet.
I concur somewhat, most of my friends are lazy asses and dont wanna do much.
lol... i totaly agree with you.... my friend plays world of warcraft 9 hours a day. he starts playing as soon as he gets home from school. what a waste....
How ironic. Deep down I know you have some respect for it ;)
I don't think life was better before the internet. But some people should be shot for using it too much. Or at least strangled.
this should be in the non-visual poetry section.
seriously.
or clashing opinions :/
I kinda agree.. but as derek said, deep down..
I tend to just leave my pc on, do other things at the same time.. lol, not just sit here
well, i mostly am on it to talk to Ashley. Other than that it is mostly pointless to me. I go on this forum, and that's about it. And i don't do that very often.
and stop adding me to weird nonsensical conversations. Id rather spend my time listing to music, learning about art, or talking an actual conversation. Theirs just more to get out of life guy's.
go for a hike! hell last week me and my friends hiked eagle mountain and smoked a few bowls on the rocks overlooking the town. That was amazing, 30x better than playing a computer of video game. I got so much more out of it. That bettered myself.
The smarter you become the smarter your world becomes.
Oh god not this kinda thing again :(
People nowadays have some prejudice against the internet simply because it is used my many people and used alot. You say life is meant to be enjoyed, well what if people enjoy going on the internet? Just because something isn't natural and is manufactured does not mean it's bad.
People using and enjoying the internet is not a bad thing at all, it was created for entertainment, just like TV , radio, music and art was created for; enjoyment.
I hate people who think that life can only be enjoyed by drinking soy milk and rolling around in feilds.
*high five swabs* Kaleidoscope, you'd be such a different person without the internet...you wouldn't even know that you missed it. This world would be such a different place without the internet...so many more people would be poor and worse-off.
Any idea how many people are leading better lives because of the internet? For example, i'm a member of a fitness forum, and because of that...i avoided overtraining, which actually MAKES YOU WEAKER and i now eat a much healthier diet. There are sites to track to caloric intake, protein levels, and so much more.
So get off your horse, and admit that it's not an evil thing.
i'm ashamed to be an addict as i am.. if i could overcome some fears i might be able to escape the claws of this vicious thing.. it's caused more trouble than it's worth..
i never said evil.
Good and evil shouldn't be considered.
Its the internet, it cant be either or.
I just think its been over popularized with crap.
the only reason i use it is to look something up, for informational usage, but books and libraries are sometimes better for that anyways. I hate downloading music too, music should be bought. not illegally downloaded.
Internet was not created for entertainment, it was for communication. I'd have to agree though to an extent. Like many things, it has become twisted from its original purpose. But there is so much info that many of us would not be able to find elsewhere, and everyone is connected.
Despite the immature people on it, the good outweighs the bad XD

small program? you mean that ram eating mother brother which harrasses my ass off with it's special offers? fuck that program never brought anyone good.. only made me want to kill things.. apple ruined my childhood.. :(
I only ever buy music, unless a friend wants to send me some. I prefer having somethign to prove that i have the music... :)

I really think my life would be drastically different if I didnt have computers. Computers have been a big part of my life since I was in 4th grade - and still is today.
Although, thinking back on it, before I came into contact with computers I was doing fine. I was spending a lot more time outside, excercising.
Nowadays I spend a lot of my time on the computer running my buisness - thats the main reason I go on it. I make a living off of it, and a good one at that so I do <3 computers.
id rather be outside working than inside on a computer.
Money hasn't, and will never matter to me. Never did when i was a kid. why should it when I'm older.. humans just conform to what other people are doing.
some of your peoples comments are ridiculous. I tunes is horrible.
The good does not out weigh the bad. There is no good and bad.
Hard to convey a message when you can't properly express yourself...
you can say it helps you all you want. But until you actually experience feelings you have never felt before, experienced life. Experienced Nature and earned a respect for both it, and spirituality.
Life is only lived once, I'm trying to help some people... I know its a hard thing to do, when everyone is always so strong on there own beliefs.
Music, at heart was created as a form expression, that is why it is an art. Although you may see music as entertainment it has solely only become that through popularization.
Most of you have conformed to everything, music, religion, society, whats right and wrong.
Deep down the only respect i have for the internet is that it Ive learnt a great deal about music, philosophy, art, religion, behaviours from it. that really hasn't helped me any though.
Who knows if i could be happy without it. who knows what my life or anyone that has ever used it would be like without it. All i can say, is its just a bunch of tiny square colours on a screen.
I'm really not trying to push spiritual happiness on anyone, I'm just tired of seeing so much synthetic emotion in everyday life.
I kinda agree with you, but not entirely.
More people should discover the wonder of books, which are much more entertaining than stuff like Runescape. The world would be a better place if more people read books.
Also, exercise and fresh air are great for the body, mind, and soul. Sunshine on your back and the breeze in your hair is better than the internet.
However, I think the internet is a great way to communicate, for example email and IM. I was able to continue contact with my best friend Hayley when she was away from school after her back surgery.
Computers also provide education/entertainment for kids. I remember being 3 years old and playing Putt-Putt and Freddie Fish. When I was a little bit older, I played Zoombinis, a logic game. Good times. :) Those kind of games help kids think logicly and stuff.
Lastly, the internet is a great source for information, and its all at your fingertips. Although books are a little better, its easier to search on Google than to search through an entire library

See, good and bad points, which i agree on. There shouldnt be a right and a wrong however, some people are more suited to indoors, to playing stuff on the computer etc. While others arents, even so, there should be a good mix if you are.
