Is the Internet Hurting Mankind?
Corak \| 11:48 AM on 09.14.2007	13 comments

There was an interesting article I came upon over at cracked.com the other day that got me thinking. It brought up some good questions, the link is below.

http://www.cracked.com/index.php?name=News&sid=2370

Does all our technology make us feel more connected or does it actually make us more isolated and alone?

How many of your friends could you trust with some VERY sensitive information?

How many close friends do you have? Myspace/facebook does not count.

How do you prefer to communicate with your friends, or co-workers?

How much of the news media, or news blogs do you actually think is true, or partially fabricated in order to get viewers, or internet traffic? We get so many different views of the same thing that we don't know what to think anymore.

Why do people turn the simplest problem or situation into some huge melodrama?

Why do office workers seem to go nuts more than construction workers?

Just some of the questions this artice addresses, and it does a very good job I think. No I don't work for cracked.com, I actually work for AT&T. I'm in your internets stealing your bandwith.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Boobz.

Also, zero.

Well, the first mistake is thinking that one's popularity on the internet is equally transferable to real life.

It's not. And when those people realize that, they re-isolate themselves with their internets.

Also, moderation!

Aaron Mxy Yost

^ I agree. Except first.

Aaron Mxy Yost

NO! Damn you Rockvillian!

People just need to know it's okay to go outside. Infact, it's totally necessary. The internet has helped mankind in so many ways!

I just don't feel like researching and typing them out at the moment. :P

Rockvillian

And yeah what Angels said, going outside is KEY. I went backpacking in the Shenandoah mountains last weekend and it helped me appreciate the technological essentials, yet recognize the extra we don't need. Wow, I'm preachy today.

It is okay to go outside and get Chipotle!

Corak

If you meant me, its Keely Hazel a model from the UK. Be careful if you do an unfiltered image search, she has posed toplesss many times, and it is glorius.

First blog post, had to do something to get people to look at it, bwebs sell.
