You have to wonder if the age of the internet was timed just right, so that civilization would come to an end not long after.

LoL the internet will either save us or destroy us, I'm thinking it will liberate us!

Think about it...If you were on that rich list and you did nothing to really help the world would you feel resposible for the state of things...I'm guessing you would...but they don't weird!

OMG that is the exact same discussion I had last night with several friends... One guy said; for me they can pull the whole plug from internet! (which isn't even possible, however..)

i said wtf, so basicly back to the era of no freedom of information for all who want it!

He argued that because of internet there are spread too many wrong ideology's etc.. so he was ok with censorship.. I'm like dude wtf, why don't just burn down all the library's!!!

I mean the information is there, and people choose for themselfs what in their mind is garbage or logic..

internet only excellerates this, which is good in my opinion!
