We are all new to the net.
This tech has only been around for a speck in our timeline.
If we don't learn to harness it's power immediately, just think of how destructive it could be in 500 years.
Personally, I've lived most of my life without it and wouldn't miss it a bit if it was shut down permanently.
Really.
There is not a single thing I love or care about that relies on the internet.
If the net dissappeared now, in fact I believe my quality of life would be better.
But since the God damned government has so much of the security of the people connected to the cyber systems, I'm afraid the net is here to stay unless they figure out a way to disconnect, which will never happen because of their greed and desire to get bigger.
Translation, I speak outside the digital arena. If your speech only reaches the digital network, and if your voice is only influential virtually, maybe you aren't as free as you believe.
Step outside, you can still say any damn thing you want.
I can see the difference between virtual talk, and real talk.
Don't let them enslave you in their virtual environment.
Reality is better.
Remember the soundtrack as John walked away from the institutional mindfuckery.
