I see the internet more and more as A Place, somewhere you'd go. Abandon reality to go to.
Staying on the internet a Friday nite is a viable alternative to going out.
You can do things online. Actions. Still interact with people. I guess I'm just talking about the way the internet was meant to be: a medium for people to communicate i.e. not porn.
So much to read. So much to watch. So much to know about. So much to find out. So much content to consume. So much content to absorb. So much content to produce. It's almost like a newfound way of being a little productive, under a new, recently established definition of productivity.
It is increasingly easier to monetize 'working on the internet'. (Careers having to do with the internet are actually the most sought after ones.) Web Designer. Blogger. Music Critic. Writer. Poet. Musical Talent. Leader of a New Religion. Prostitute. Plus many other careers you can strengthen with a strong internet presence.
It's just really obvious that things have really changed (permanently) when I think ten years back; it's something I don't like doing.
When we'd watch TV.
I don't watch TV anymore, and it feels like nobody does anymore either. I know the world's in constant change, I guess I had chosen not to see the change, til now.
It's fine.
