Naw.......

If the Sun or Mother Earth wants to do a shutdown, I'm all for it. I think "we" as a species, need to do some soul searching. The Internet might be a great place, but many don't understand how they can get lost in it. MHO.


I disagree.
Without the net, alot of the things now comming to light would most likely remain hidden. Humanity would be subjected to being spoonfed only what the media wants us to know and believe. The net is an excellent resource for knowledge. Who wouldn't want to get lost in a sea of knowledge? Whatever you ever wanted to learn or know about is just a click away.


I have got to ask you.
Is your life better because of the net or did you know life before the net.

We survived just great as a species, before the internet. It has many advantages and disadvantages. Their are pros and cons to the Internet. The biggest Con I can think of is the Internet has made us dependent on information, at just a click away. Libraries, Books, are a thing of the past. Good old fashion learning, is being circumvented by the "one click". I believe having too many conveniences makes us lazy, as a species. Seriously, how many people do you know, could make a loaf of bread from scratch? How many would look up that information on the internet? Relying on modern technologies is good, but I believe people need to seriously understand it could end tomorrow if Mother Nature, or the Sun chooses to end it. People need to be prepared for anything, and NOT take it for granted. MHO

What kind of question is that? Of course I knew life before the internet. I'm not totally consumed by it. Are you disagreeing that it's a valuable informative tool?

What difference does it make if the info is just a click away? In case you didn't know, books can be downloaded and read on the Web. Don't see how you can find a downside to that.

Here's how to make your bread.

Sure having the net shut down would pose a serious inconvenience but it's not like the lost art of going to the library or bookstore is totally forgotten. Certain info can also be taken and stored/printed out.
