For a shocked moment I sat by the screen and asked, "then what is?" And I still haven't found an answer.<BR/><BR/>I'm unconvinced that the internet is the root of the problem. It's dismissive of humanity itself to say so. I'm formulating this argument as I go, but I'd be willing to say that the internet is simply the next invention which has enabled humans to quicken experience. From the use of the horse to the wheel, to the automobile. I wonder if it's a bad thing, truly, something that we can attach value to in such a way. Certainly we regret this progression. But I think it's inevitable. Interesting stuff, and I thank you for sharing it.Eric Shonkwilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14037998216225336724noreply@blogger.com
