The NEW.

Ok, so it's been a few minutes since I've posted on here. Well, this is my turning point. I am now going to do my best to write on here everyday.

Today, let's talk about the internet and humanity. It seems like everything these days is done via the internet. People date, go to school, find jobs, shop, gamble, creep, and also generally waste time. So many different sites offer the brain dead or damaged masses, hours upon hours of unfiltered, unfettered, meaningless entertainment. One of the few sites I frequent, Pintrest, is a beast of both worlds, some for good, some for bad. When I first started my Pintrest account, I had no idea what it was. I had heard about it from numerous people, and everyone said it was a dangerous site for time wasting, but I figured, I have great self control...  ...I can manage, no problem.  So on that first night, I believe I was on there for about 6 or 7 hours straight, while I should have been sleeping.  Since then, I've gotten a handle on my use, but I can completely understand how people can get caught up in these sites. Something that offers new and often hilarious things every second, of every day.

The problem with allthis, as I see it, is that we, as humanity, are losing touch with our own realities. Technology, the internet, all of it, can be used for good or bad. It can be used for wasting time, or for saving time. A friend of mine told me, just last night, about IBM using something similar to Second Life, to save millions of dollars annually, by allowing their employees to telecommute, and at the same time, stay connected, as if in the cubicle next door, to anyone and everyone they may need to interact with. This is a brilliant and wonderful strategy, and I hope that someday, tech support for bussinesses, and cutsomer service departments can have and utilize the same technology to help facilitate a faster and easier system for helping their customers.

I myself, would LOVE a job that allowed me to work at home and telecommute and still interact with fellow employees. I do my best work alone, but I still need and love bouncing ideas off other people, or getting opinions of what I'm currently working on. Ultimately, what we need to do, is reign in on the useless and time wasting, and focus on bettering ourselves and our world. If we don't, our children, and their children, will be completely dissasociative, and antisocial.

That's all for now. .See you tomorrow.
