The Internet

is more important than what a lot of people give it credit for. Sure it has its vices, but what doesn't? The problems we face online are fought in our own backyards. A key difference being that it's a lot faster on the internet, but preventive measures and corrective action can be just as fast. Information and communication is almost instant and ready at hand which gives protests like those in Libya a chance to reach across seas or makes finding directions a simple task. Sites like Facebook or Myspace make networking easier and helps us keep in touch with those we love and care about, but just can't find the time to call as frequent as we'd want. They can even cost you your job because you decided to carelessly and publicly undermine your boss. Information you want is gathered in one place and all it takes is a few key words in a search engine to filter an array of sites for your picking.


Maybe this is a bit much for a short blog entry, but I just felt like forming some of my thoughts into coherent sentences.
