People look to the internet to validate themselves and their ego's/opinions.

I'm old enough to know what the world was like before the internet. But I shudder to think of the world if the internet went away.

I think people would lose it, and go nuts.

"go nuts" ?

Are you saying that this is our "bread and circuses" to keep us pacified? This and watching "Duck Dynasty"?

Kev

Yep.

This youtube is 5 years old.. and it's just as valid today (more valid no doubt) than it was then:

What Facebook and Google are Hiding from the World

Now.. I knew this was true in the back of my head.. I've worked in IT for 25 years.. I watched the Internet be born.. run a dot.com and fought for google PR and all that (some years ago).

But this is far more disturbing to me than I first realized.. I'm sure there are numerous threads about this on ATS.

Here I am.. was just 'chatting' and I've learned something.

Kev

sure you can win an argument online.

It is cyberspace.

Make an alt account and argue with yourself and show the readers how awesome you are by letting your main account win.

What if both accounts post a Nick Cage meme?

Then depending on the depths of the schizophrenia it is a whole new bromance

It would create a tear in the fabric of space/time.

Or you could simply place a Chuck Norris meme as a tie breaker.

More so to come to a conclusion
Internet should be power to people yet so far did I not see people in one thread to come to an agreement even if you all disagree there should be alternative you all agree on or should be willing to come to. I don't know what it is

I like relaxed too..meow
