internet

One of things I appreciate most about the internet, is the "digital landscape it paints." On one hand, it's real? No wait, it's not real. This leads to the question- Where does everything we put on the internet even go? Is it saved in random (government) computers? Was it ever really tangible at all, maybe only in our minds. Basically, the internet is the future, I think becoming e-famous is SMART(dotcom). Who says only actors and actresses should be in the media, those people are a joke; from a scientific standpoint they do nothing more than entertain people. Everyone goes on the internet, it's now stupid to pretend otherwise. VH1 already has entire television programs devoted to random shit on the internet. What I love most is that I'm in total and compete control as to what I do, say(type), and/or put on the internet (the contributions I make to the digital landscape).

I love how I could deleted this in a second if I felt like it. I can disclose as little or as much as I feel like, or don't feel like. I can "spy" on other people (not like I do that, but I could if I wanted to) which is something I appreciate. The internet gives me the power of infinite connection. All of a sudden, a human being from anywhere on earth can go on dgoodness.blogspot.com and read everything I'm typing. It's comforting, it feels powerful. With this, I feel as though I'm given a grave responsibility to speak only the truth, and I always do, because truth = beauty, and the truth is good. The internet teaches us about whatever we want it to, I think I'm going to make it my slave. The internet can be used to learn through diffusion, also, it can spread messages slowly, over time (the increasing diffusion of information age). I love living in the information age, although I would rather live in the age of space travel. In a lot of ways I feel like I can do whatever I want, I'm so grateful to have a medium through which I can express myself so easily and simply.

I often think about dead people's myspaces- omg they're still around! Some people have already been on myspace for years (I'm using myspace as an example, substitute whichever social networking website you want, it matters not). In such cases, there's no way one can deny that myspace has both shaped and determined those people's life experience. Whatever one puts on the internet basically exists for ever (with some stipulations) and I've always loved the record of history the internet already provides. I often wonder about how social networking will evolve, as well as which websites will hit 50 years, and will that even be a big deal? Am I taking the internet too seriously? In a lot of ways, I feel like it's the best invention ever, but I'm sure many people would counter with many different arguments. And maybe it won't even be the best invention in the world for too much longer. I'm all too ready to have a direct internet connection implanted in my brain, or uploading my consciousness (or whatever). The internet only serves to facilitate my vision.

I use the internet as my ongoing open letter to the world from myself.
