Some scientists have recently "discovered" that spending your life on the Internet does not make you an anti-social person. (How cool is that?) What is more, the number of anti-socials has decreased in comparison to the 80's.
Well, this just goes to show that the Internet is not the end of humanity. It is just a phase in which we tend to exit the house less often. Besides, who doesn't want to be famous on the Tube, Twitter or Facebook?
There was this news of a girl who got stuck in a sewer and in a desperate attempt to save herself, she texted on Twitter that she was stuck. Fortunately for her, someone saw the "twit" and called 911. The question that arises is "why on Earth didn't she call 911"?
Another thing I find irritating about the "Internets" is that it screws up your language skills (mainly spelling). "LOL","BRB" was fun in the 00's but now "OMGWTFLOLZOR" is getting a bit out of hand. Don't get me wrong, Lolspeak is fun but it's fun when not exaggerating with it. In other words, as long as I can understand what the other guy is saying in LOLSpk. it is fine with me.
Last but not least, there is the tendency of the music and gaming industries to over-charge their products. In music, we have the WMG restrictions, whereas in gaming we have games stripped of essentials, that the user is forced to subsequently buy (via downloadable content).
Of course, there is a positive side to having most of the world's information at the click of your mouse:
0. Design Blogs (Smashing-Magazine-like)
1. DeviantArt.
2. Wikipedia.
3. Forums.
4. News agencies.
5. Live Streaming Radios.
6. The Failblog.
And that's about it for me, because as Hank Moody would say, "I'm an analog guy in a digital world."
