internet
raze sometimes i wonder what life would be like if this global system of interconnected computer networks didn't exist, or if it had never been made so accessible.

no email. no google. no firefox. no yahoo. no youtube. no internet porn. no pop-up ads. no cookies. no memes. no spyware. no viruses. no dating sites. no blogs. no instagram. no facebook. no ebay. just books and letters and phone calls and photo albums ad in-person bartering and photocopied family newsletters.

i didn't own a computer until i was eighteen, and had only sporadic access to one in that time. now it's difficult to imagine life without one, and without the internet at my fingertips the second i wake up.

i'm not complaining. i wouldn't want to be without blather. i wouldn't want to be ignorant of the great art in many different mediums i may not have discovered otherwise. i wouldn't want to be without the opportunity to communicate with people who live far away from me, who i'll most likely never meet, who i never would have come in contact with if not for the internet.

it's just something interesting to think about.
