There is only one purpose for TV.. to sell stuff.
Info & entertainment the method.
Same geniuses are exploiting the intranet as a means.
Inevitable I guess

Interesting and true. I just hate it when I follow a link and get to something that only opens one little page at a time, and by the time I have hit next a few times, it slows down so much that I just give up!

Great blog Maisie. There was a cute commercial on awhile ago showing a man clicking on a link and getting an announcement that he had already read every single thing on the internet. I often see sites I'd be interested in visiting but I have a very expensive and crappy internet provider (Bell Canada), and if I even click on one or two extra links a month my bill goes up another $25. or more. I found this great site for really cute and inexpensive women's clothes and accessories (Berrylook) but don't even go to the site anymore because of my internet bill. Does anyone here have Comwave? I'm afraid to change providers because I always have to hook things up and have no idea how to do any of it so I just keep paying Bell their exorbitant rates every month.

[SIZE 3]"What if we were to go back in time and tell a 19th century scholar that we had all the world's knowledge on a device we could carry in out pockets, but we used the device to look at cat videos and argue with strangers ? "

But...what if we went back in time and told him about the good and positive knowledge the internet has given us? That the cat videos and arguing were just a sideline to the public knowledge that we have all gained from? And... what if we told that scholar that it all stemmed from his (and others) thinking, and experimentation with that thought? Don't you think he was part of it all and that he'd be proud to have been?

The point I am making is that ALL KNOWLEDGE ARISES FROM PREVIOUS THOUGHT.

It's called evolution and development of humanity.

I have............. LOL......... that's how I found Joe! Actually, there was an ad for SFF on the side of the page, and I was intrigued that it was for people my age, so I clicked onto it.
Oh, and I have bought a shirt for Joe from an advertisement on face book that caught my eye. It was a lovely Tee shirt that says, "Life took me to Illinois, but I'll always be a Clemson Tiger"

It's a satirical insight that has been used thousands of times as a jumping-off point of serious discussions about the effect of technology on Humanity......as it seems you have done here......but you don't seem to have enough imagination to understand Katie's take.....where she chose to take it. Surely you don't imagine that the "joke" you posted here has never been seen before and that the only interpretation is your intended one.......What is obvious is your pettiness.

All I see is you insulting people for not having the exact same response to a saying that has bean repeated ad-nauseam in many contexts. Katie didn't say or imply what you imagine she said......you made that up out of whole cloth.........You say you intended light-heartedness......That's the real joke........Look at what you have said to her......If you were so light hearted, you wouldn't respond like you have here...We are all from very disparate places and cultures, why do you imagine that your own take or intended meaning are the be-all and end-all of every conversation......Your take is only that....one interpretation out of many possibilities......Everything that differs from your opinion, is not wrong....just different.
