Same here

And of COURSE he is!

By the by...wtf is Twitter?

 

[A]

The best explanation for Twitter:

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Twitter

I Tweet there all the time. It's fun to take pictures of your food and twitter it to your friends.

Is Cookie Monster secretly the Genie?

Twitter is a place full of twits. Duh.

 

[A]

I Twitter. It gets quite entertaining to see what you and your friends are up to - Myspace and Facebook suck.

 

[Ⓐaron]

I'm irked that Facebook is attempting to be Twitter in its latest update, and for that reason I refuse to use Twitter

 

[A]

Facebook and Myspace are freaky social networking sites. At least in Twitter not all people say, "I just took off my shirt and for some reason my friend was gawking at me. I wonder what that was about?"

And let's not forget the stalkers/pedos/attenionwhores that linger at Facebook and Myspace.

Twitter's a lot easier to use imo. I don't have a Facebook or Myspace.

 

[Joker]

Sounds stupid to me, but I think that's the point of ED

And I barely use my myspace anymore. I try to put up some random "get shit off my chest" blog once a week, but that's it (and even that's only when I cba). At the same time, I'm kinda glad I have it, for messaging purposes, at least.

Enyclopedia Dramatica is epic justice. People should all depend their school report resources there.

The internet is a sad place. Therefore I am sad, because I feel a need to participate. Uye.

I remember the glory days, without internet... *day dreams*

 

[A]

The internet is our future, and we are the ones making it the future.

I don't think the internet is necessarily a bad thing.

 

[Ⓐaron]

The internet is for porn.

Er, I mean, the internet is a good thing. It's pretty much revolutionised social organising and in general is likely to make society a whole lot less authoritarian, which is a form of change I can only welcome.

 

[Shademp]

I agree that on a global level, the internet is a wonderful thing and is ultimately helping civilization to grow.

But on a personal level, I just wish I wasn't addicted to the internet and my laptop.
"Go outside" like the parents would say.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Meh, if I didn't spend my time on the internet I'd spend it on something equally introverted probably hell I probably wouldn't even have figured out why I'm atypical and thus likely wouldn't even have graduated from university

 

[A]

It's a disease. People are getting hit with the Internet virus, as am I. My friends keep saying that to me.

EDIT: V, you haven't graduated from university?

 

[Shademp]

I'm curious about exactly what would happen if the internet suddenly shut down indefinitely.

All I've heard is that bank information would be lost, ergo all bank accounts would be erased. That in itself would be enough to spawn anarchy. Am I wrong? What would in fact happen?

Edit: It may also depend on how it is shut down of course. The only way I know of would be one or more giant electromagnetic pulses.

 

[Joker]

The internet gave me chronic cba

 

[Shademp]

The internet gave me chronic cba

I feel ya man. Right here *points to every ultra-relaxed muscle in the body which are too cba to care*

 

[Joker]

And if it shut down like that, I'd cry like a baby

 

[A]

If the internet shut down... all hell would break loose.

 

[Ⓐaron]

EDIT: V, you haven't graduated from university?

no, I graduated in December. I wouldn't have though if not for information gained via the internet

 

[A]

Congrats dood, my sister is going to U. Penn. this fall. She's very anxious, she doesn't know what to expect.

 

[Joker]

Wait, Alise has an older sister? STOP THE PRESSES!

...is she hot?

 

[A]

Yes, and I have a twin hormonal brother as well.

Wanna pic?

EDIT: Actually, she'd stomp if I did. D:

 

[Cthulhu]

I'd be out of a job without the internets, :/. 99% of what I know about the internet comes from the internet.

... wait. Make that 'programming' and etcetera whatnot.

I have a few books, but none is as much win as the internets when it comes to quickly looking something up, . I remember back in the day (read: two years ago) when we started out with Java, we had a book, and I just read the first two chapters and learned the rest through reading the documentation and shit on the internets, .

The world would come to an end if Google was shut down.

 

[A]

Chaos would happen without the internet. People would become depressed, people would become insane. Communication would be more difficult. It would take a heavy toll on all of us.
