The concept of the internet is bizarre.
Consider for a moment—where is the internet?
I really don’t have an answer.
Is it just sort of…among us?
It’s all-knowing and nearly all-powerful.
Is the internet, like, God?
I mean, the internet knows what types of television you like to watch and what types of things you’re Googling. It knows you so well that it can PREDICT what you’ll want to browse on the internet with relative accuracy (explains why I’m seeing all those Sean Connery interviews in my “recommended for you”).
That’s insane.
Imagine trying to explain the internet to people in the 1600s.
They’d be blown away.
I bet they’d think the internet was a god. How could you not? Thousands of hours of primo Sean Connery content at the touch of a finger? I must be dreaming.
Look, everyone reading this has been conditioned to the “normality” of the internet but, all things considered, there’s nothing NORMAL about the internet at all.
Animals (that is, non-human animals) aren’t even aware of the internet’s existence, yet humanity has now grown to the point of being (virtually) TOTALLY DEPENDENT on the internet (and Sean Connery interviews). If the internet were to dissolve unexpectedly, the world would go MAD.
That’s not good.
