We have an incessant need to be better than everyone and everything else. Why can't we just be happy to be who we are and not try to bring others down to our level? Facebook is jam-packed with people who want to be the best at something or want to have the most hits, the most friends, the most likes, the most comments. They share their lives.. every detail of them.. with the world to see what the world has to say. We are being put on a stand-still because of our need to share our every thought. We don't move forward because we're too busy looking back and to the side. Look at what I'm doing right now. Not living my life, because I'm too busy writing down a blog post online, which no one will see and yet I still hope that someone someday will see this and read it and comment. Why? Why is our society the way it is?
War.
War created the internet, but no one ever talks about it like that, because they don't want such a 'good thing' to be tainted. If you don't have a cell phone or a computer you won't do anything in your life, right? I wouldn't know, because I haven't experienced it.
How did war create the internet?!
ReplyDeleteThe internet was originally created during wartime so that people in different regions could communicate with each other to best create their strategic plans and what not.
ReplyDeleteWell okay, it was U.S. Department of Defense that created it.
