A Whole World Is Growing Up Separate From The Rest Of UsThe Internet society is really a separate people. A different world that has different ideas and goals and prospects and worries and everything. I'm not into it enough to be able to reliably decipher its language. That, is the numbers and letters and weird computer signs that have turned into another language of its own. I'm not that heavily into it. For me, its more of just a home, but not a life. You know? Who do you know that lives on the Internet? You know it's an addiction. Of course it is. Try staying off of the computer for a week. You can't. I can't. It's like your daily hit of everything you ever want or need. Heck, if somehow you could hook up into the system permanently, you wouldn't ever have to come out, would you. Going to the bathroom, eating, breathing. . .it's just things you have to do. What I've always thought this particular example is funny. When you're on the internet all the time, you're looking for a life. Especially bloggers (not all, but let me explain). Bloggers write down what happens in their lives. Or in most bloggers cases, their lack of lives. But the interesting thing is this: when people finally get lives that are interesting, then they don't have time to write them down. Heh. It's ironic. Over the last few days, I think I've had sort of some Internet withdrawal symptoms/problems. See, while my brother and his wife were here, they stayed in the guest room. The guest room is where the computer is. So I didn't post as much. I didn't spend as much time on the computer as I have in past days/weeks/months/years. I'm not mad at them or anything, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that maybe I was more into this internet thing than I at first realized. And so it goes. It sucks more people in, and rarely throws anyone out. All the information you could want! It's right at your fingertips. It's here, for the taking. It's just crying out for you to find it. The world? What's the world? Anything you could get out there, you could get right here. That makes for interesting conversation/thoughts, doesn't it. In fact, that gives me an idea for a book. Hmm.
