College prepares its students for a lot of life’s challenges and obstacles, but one thing it currently fails miserably on is what said students would do without 24/7 access to the Internet.
The Internet, in recent years, has made us totally dependent on its vast network of readily accessible information—so much so that we forget how to actually use our brains.
For every well designed and informative website, there are probably 100 unintelligent and poorly designed crap holes. The Internet, more than likely, holds all the information about anything we could ever dream of knowing. But, unfortunately, we’ve lost the ability to sift through all the bullshit.
No one will ever discover the cure for cancer because everyone in the developed world is too busy looking at pictures of cats.
So then there’s me. I go from 24/7 access to the Internet to maybe being able to get online once or twice every 3 days. A significant change when you consider when I wasn’t in class, napping or with my girlfriend I was on the Internet doing nothing important whatsoever. What does one do when the craziness of school, the proximity of a girlfriend and access to the internet suddenly change? That my friend, is a very good question.
