As usual, it's not the device. It's how it gets used.

You get out of it what you put into it.

Yep, It’s as simple as that. Ive got a couple guitars on my wall that dont make very good music. I dont blame them for it.

You are so right. I have been entertained for hours, days, weeks, months, years while Evangelical Christians insidiously took over Right-wing politics in the United States of America. The internet is dope.

Very good Felix. I remember when the Internet was CompuServe and Usenet (if you could figure out how it worked and what the "rules" we're). And, if English is not your first language, double really good.

Promise I’m not trolling… but I found this piece boring. Good idea, poor execution. Keep practicing!

I cut this down for those who are in a rush to not be yelled at: the internet is cool if you use it like a cool person, but there are no suggestions for how to do that or where to go. This is just a rant against people without any suggestions other than, be something other than yourself. An angry little piece.

This is really good! I’m quite shocked that people think the internet is boring…. I’ve been living in my small bubble for a while so I’ve lost touch of what people are saying now. The internet has so much to offer, there’s so much life, so many crazy and mind expanding ideas. Plus it’s an amazing place to learn for free! As you said, you have to look beyond the veil, beyond the horizon. Yes it is harder to find things, but not impossible. If you value knowledge, then it shouldn’t matter how difficult it is to get it.

I loved reading this. Thank you for crafting it. Boredom is a mindset, and engagement is work. Such good takeouts for my day.
