Moving makes the mind go funny...you never really know how important the internet is to you until you're cut off from it. Can't explain the anger that went through me when our ISP botched the install. A week without highspeed- I'm addicted. I'd like to see if there's any research out there on internet addiction..I feel it would almost be wrong to google for the information, I should just call some prof, like you would in the old days, ten years ago. SEO culture is ruining our ability to search for things authentically...I miss the days when digging for information was hard, when a scrap of info felt rare. I guess I'm being nostalgic because I think my generation is the one that's gonna feel it the most- we were born into a world that used the word NERDS in a negative way, and now we're moving full force forward into the world's new store, the app/prog/browser store and we don't give enough of a shit to look back. Why do I feel like i neede spellcheck? Twitter is a cult movement and we're pushing it forward because we want to be on the crest of a new wave, we want to be forefathers of an electric country, we want netizen power, we want our gods to be anonymous and our Sunday service to be open source. No stopping now though because we're addicted to the point of blind ignorance. ZuckerB's cocky Billgatsing changed the rules and the your are forming celebrity community cults that companies haven't yet found a way to exploit. I miss the days when jump was the A button and people would twist their heads in confusion at the word "download". I'm 26.
