I hate to say it, but computers are probably the single biggest threat to life as we know it. People logging in logging out, staring endlessly at jumbled words in some self-proclaimed news site, shuffling symbols on a screen, working.. yet not. Is it really important to be connected to the world in this way? Where life becomes digitized into paragraphs, where your friend in China is so much closer than the person sitting right beside you.. simply put, the Internet is degrading everyday life more than it helps. Sifting through sands of 1s and 0s, we're not finding stuff we want, but finding stuff we don't. Although the Internet helps satisfy our unquenchable thirst for information and entertainment, sites are purely run from Americans succumbing to repetitive and deceptive advertising. The world has to get up off the chair and wake up to the permanence of a well-worn book, or satisfaction of an early morning jog. Think about it: computers were meant only to help people crunch numbers, not eat up vast amounts of one's precious day.
