What do you like/dislike about Internet?

[vng2015]

I like:

-- Expressing myself to the World.

-- Unlimited source of information


I dislike:

-- The answers may be very slow.

-- Whatever is discussed is public property.

-- Typing is slower then speaking.

Im going to start mine out in the opposite order so it ends on a positive note

I Dislike:

~All the people ive met through the years and got close to i have no idea what happened to and will never see again.

~How entitled its causing people to act as time passes and it affects societys view points and beliefs.

~Annoying Youtube Celebrities and TRYHARDS that should be burned and killed with fire immediately.

~Overuse of acronyms that most people dont even know what they mean

~How hard it is to keep up with everything thats going on, even in a specific hobby.

~People constantly arguing seemingly just for the sake of arguing and refuse to see each others points of view.

~How people can be so rude and callous because they feel like theres no accountability for their actions. (Theyd never act like this in "real" life offline because somebody would punch their teeth in)

~How fake its caused alot of people to act, and very much at this point BE, mostly a direct side effect of social media facebook etc. because everybody feels like theyre competing to have the most perfect life on these types of sites.

~Theres always some damn know it all who cant let people have a decent discussion because they "know" how it will turn out already and will spare no expense to let everybody know it. Even if and especially if the people dont want to hear it.

~ Epeens and Ego over the most rediculous things.

~ How Cliquey it can be in certain places.

~Duckface, selfie, selfish, braindead culture.

~How obsessed people are with ***.

~psycho nutcase looney toon surprise buttsex I just killed your cat and your grandma with a hammer people.

~All the hopeless lonely people i dont know how to help in a realistic way.

~How government and other shadow groups use it to spy on people and other shady activities that cost lives, quality of life and money etc.

~This one is probably my most personal and painful one. I think the one that bothers me the most is how Tenuous and Temporary it is. Everything on the net including the people are at certain times insubstantial things like ghosts and figments of the imagination if youre forced to live on it long term like me due to my illness. You meet people and think theyre your friends, then they just dissapear. I am accepting of it now adays as a fact of life and the net, but i dislike how its changed me due to these facts.

~ How lonely it can make me feel especially on a forum or site full of people.

~ Our over dependence on it that will one day lead to greater problems in real life such as transhumanism one day in the future. Pretty scarry stuff when mankind starts playing God http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism




I Like:

~How sometimes at the most unexpected time you run across somebody and make a connection and a new friend.

~All the information freely available

~ Constant Avenue of entertainment (Never a shortage of things to read or do)

~ Its a great way to find new music, games, movies,TV shows, books etc.

~ How sometimes people actually genuinely care and try to help one another.

~ So many humorous and funny things.

~ Free stuff

~ Learning oppurtunities

~ The sheer weirdness and neverendingness of it, its like this giant city that nobody could ever explore in its entirety in one lifetime and its still growing.

~The opportunity to help people.

~Learning about other cultures all around the world. My best friend now lives in South Africa, i never would have met her without the internet nor learned about her culture.

~The oppurtunity to preview things like games, movies, peoples otherwise unpublished writing etc.

~All the art and beautiful wallpaper images i can find and use as backdrops for my own desktop that help me feel good at various times and remember all the beauty in the world.

~All the memories ive made on it even if they are finite and temporary, thats kinda how life works too so im good with that i guess, still thankful i even had opportunities.

I like the nearly limitless access to information.

This, but also the ability to keep up with family and friends that aren't nearby. (that's a like, btw)

lmao, well sure there might be SOME who are deeply disturbed, but painting us all with the same brush isn't nice.

Seriously I find this place the best forum by miles. Some football sites are awful. I just can't be bothered arguing with some people who think they know everything.

 

[TheRealCallie]

Yes, painting people with the same brush is rather germy, I would I say.

 

[Rosebolt]

^ Unhygienic, too.

^ I find it deeply disturbing that you find this deeply disturbing.
