How the Internet Influenced Me?


How has the internet influenced me? I have a better question: how has it NOT influenced me? I’m pretty sure 90% of my day consists of internet, and the other 10% is the unimportant necessities of life, such as food, sleep, bathroom breaks, etc. Notice how I didn’t mention class and work, as those things aren’t as necessary as internet.
            How would my life be without technology? I suppose I’d be in a loincloth hunting with rocks and eating grass. More specifically, without internet life would be a lot harder and much more annoying. People say the internet is making us antisocial because most people are wrapped up in their smartphones and such. Well, they’re right, but can you actually imagine sitting down and talking to another human being? Like, who does that anymore? I guess that’s why I don’t do well in social groups, but that’s another story for another blog I won’t take very seriously like this one, I’m sure.
            Now, let me tell you online gaming is where it’s at! Playing games has really helped me cope with anxiety and sadness, cause I’m human like everyone else. It’s fun to be an awesome character in a game and pretend you were that person, or complete quests and become an amazing superhero you’ll never be in real life. That’s the real joy of gaming, right there. It’s also fun hearing from other people who play the same video games you do. And no, I don’t mean the people you play with online directly, cause being social is overrated as I mentioned before, which is precisely why 99.239874923874298374% of people on the internet are stupid and angry for absolutely no reason. I mean watching reviews on YouTube and stuff, cause that requires a lot less effort and social interaction.
            As for Wikipedia, I’m quite glad it’s around. It decreases the brain power and learning capability of most individuals by having all the questionable and probably wrong questions answered in the universe, which is good for lazy people like me who often don’t use their brain for much of anything besides typing and eating. Even then my intelligence is questionable, as I made around 234 errors typing this blog.
            Lastly, it’s great the media is online now. I’m sure it decreased the number of needless paper cuts many innocent Americans suffered each day. Have you seen a poor little child rolling around in a wheelchair because of a bandage on his thumb? I have, it’s very heartbreaking stuff, man. It also makes learning about the world a lot easier to do, though. Who actually wants to know what’s going on anymore? The world is a scary place, and the news consists of 80% murder/rape/violence of any kind, 15% “the government is doing >insert dumb and ridiculous thing here that will surely lead to an unnecessary war or people dying needlessly<” and 5% good stories that embody the well-being of the human soul. So, the bottom line is media is stupid and everyone should avoid it.

I’m sure this blog is over 400 words, and if it isn’t well it should be cause I spent a solid 50 seconds thinking of what to type, and I believe I should get credit for all 50 of those brain tiring seconds.
