One Web Day

The internet has opened my eyes to anything I could ever imagine. As an extension of my mind through my fingers the internet leads me through a labyrinth of thoughts and ideas. The internet has changed my life to the point that it is my life. I am able to navigate through my brain, exploring and learning about anything that comes to mind. The internet has left its webbing over almost every aspect of my life. The internet has been a friend to me, allowing me to say whatever I want to say (or type whatever I want to type), and it will listen to me and provide me with answers (good or bad). If I want to know what the price of Nike Hyperdunks are at Finish Line, my friend will give me an answer. If I want to know if Jennifer Aniston has had cosmetic surgery, my friend will give me an answer. This friend is awesome, and hardly ever complains! It doesn't get jealous, it doesn't cry, it barely asks anything of me, it just wants me to give it some attention, that's all.

The internet also provides a communication grounds for any kind of topic, for anyone. I am not the only one caught in the web, millions of others are able search and post their own thoughts for others to find. No longer do I have to meet a person to hear (rather see) what they have to say. No longer do I have to wait for their thoughts to be articulated and organized enough to be published. In an instant I can convey to others my feelings, and vice versa. In only about three decades the internet has complied the works of anything imaginable in an easily accessible form.

Although this ICT acts sort've like a friend it is largely responsible for desensitizing the feelings of real life. It does not care for us at all, and cannot replace the real feelings you get from engaging your senses in something REAL.
