I was talking to an older friend of mine about when the internet was new and he was really impressed how easily you could look stuff up and how useful that it could be. It's amazing thinking about the potential it had in it's infancy and comparing it to the what it has turned out to be. It's all about marketing and getting the most hits, the idea that it can simply be a useful tool that makes things easier to learn has been replaced with advertisements.

The constant bombardment of advertisements I am exposed to everyday really bothers me. It doesn't stop at the television and radio, there's big huge signs by the road, every product has a brand on it, and then on the internet. Most people don't even realize how often we see advertisements.

Reflecting on this, it really fucks with my head knowing how good things, like the internet, could be, but are thrown under the bus by greedy people. It has sucked growing up in such a place, and it constantly reminds me that this world is full of potentially good, but actually bad people.

I think the internet, and computers, could be utilized much better if so much energy wasn't spent trying to sell stuff that people don't need. I actually think that goes for a lot of things. I guess it's all about how I look at it, but taking most things into consideration it seems like the internet is far more bad, than it is good.

Does anyone have a radically different view of the internet and things? Or whatever you feel like adding.
