connected

Its weird how the internet unites us. We take so many things for granted, one of them is having every single one of our contacts haunting us day and night on the internet. Nothing is sacred anymore, everywhere you go, they go with you. You see glimpses of every person’s life without actually being there and similarly they see glimpses of your life without really being there. You update your status on Facebook or Twitter and everywhere else. If someone wants to find you, all they have to do is click a button. Wow, what a feat we have achieved. that's just weird, anyone can know just about anything about you.

unfortunately, no one controls the internet. anything can be put up by anyone and  its like toothpaste, once its out it cant be put back in. i think people should think about that more, because like i said, the internet is great for connecting everyone to each other, but it causes its fair bit of trouble.

the kind of trouble the internet causes is stuff like formspring ect where cowards use the fact their name is not shown to put people they dislike down by the way they look. 

the internet in general is an amazing place it can connect you to anyone in the world and give you information about anyone, but its dangerous and i sometimes wish it wasn't in our lives as much as it is.
