Just do that shit when you're home, but not when you're out dinner with someone. It really takes away the fun of a lot of things.
Internet sucks, people study way less because of addiction and I'm sure I have an internet addiction as does anyone with a smartphone nowadays.


I usually tell my friends to put their phones the fuck away when we're out eating.
TrShady is just great. A place where pompousus blowhards can connect with other pompousus blowhards, and form a vast circle jerk of pomposity.

With any change comes good and bad, there are negatives to having the internet, but i feel the connectivity and information sharing and networking are all huge pluses. I think the problem is that our education system isnt really adjusted to dealing with it. People need to be taught to check sources early on, and not believe everything they see, because with easy access, you get to see more falsehoods, but on the flipside we now have the benefit of doing a little research to see whats true and what isnt. I dont think this generation, i guess being the one i am, are any lazier than any other. Just that the way we go about things now is different, we dont have to go to the library to study anymore, we can just look shit up. It makes it easier to be lazy sure, but it doesnt mean people in general are just lazier. I know at first i couldnt take my eyes off my phone, now i just use it to text the same few people, read articles and listen to music, and im so thankful i have a portable device able to do that. Like with everything else, you should do it in moderation, you shouldnt be staring at a screen 24 hours a day, but if people really dont understand its a problem and all they see are people who speak with condescension and look down on you because you look at your phone a lot or are on the internet a lot, why would you want to change anything?
" Life can change your directions, even when you ain't planned it
All you can do it handle it, worst thing you can do is panic
Use it to your advantage, avoid insanity manage
To conquer, every obstacle, make impossible possible
Even when winning illogical, losing is still far from optional.." -T.I.

Hasn't porn or at least prostitutes been around since the beginning of history, though?

The internet's good for following all the rappers/comedians/entertainers I like (hence my presence here).

I hate a lot of it, though. Animated GIF forum posts, memes, catchphrases, leet speak, Twitter hashtag jokes, Facebook, list articles, Youtube comments...the list goes on.

I think the Internet's good when it's used properly like when finding information or connecting with people/having cool experiences (kinda like TR) but when it gets excessive/annoying it's not good. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. piss me off at times. It definitely has its pluses and minuses but if the Internet gets in the way of face-to-face interaction or becomes an addiction then that is not good. This may sound strange but I just thought that there should be a screening to only allow certain people to use the Internet. Like when you first use the Internet, there should be a test/check to make sure you won't be liable to abuse the Internet. Likewise, I feel that if someone is messing around on the Internet or doing something that isn't productive/worthwhile, they should be kicked off the Internet. Screw dumb people.

Sorry if that sounded harsh and crazy but the other day me and my friend were having a conversation about stuff like this (different topic but similar conclusion) and I thought of this.

All can be good or bad depends on how you use it.

Internet is great, you have access to everything, and this is what makes it a bad thing too. There are lots of weird people having access to everything.

When I was a teen, I didn't have internet, if you wanted to know about your favorite artists you had to wait to see them in tv, buy a magazine.....there was something great about it. Now everything is fast, you can find things in 5 minutes. So some feelings are lost.

I agree with the last part. :y: I remember saving Eminem's pics to a floppy disk at the internet cafés (I'm not even sure if some of you know what it is lol :p )

haha, I definitely do, because I did the same. I think I still keep some.

And even if I go more back in time I remember waiting for the saturday morning (when there was a musical tv show on tv) to watch the videos and record them in a VHS...the old times, but there was some nostalgia on that...

Now everything is fast. I think very young people don't valorate the things, because what you want, you have...

OMG I was waiting for all his videos on TV to record them in a VHS too. :flutter: Nostalia all over the place. We had a real childhood. It was all fun. Everything's too easy nowadays.
