College: Art Institute of Boston 2006 - Part III

Well this next Foundations piece is from April 20th 2006. After reading it, there's an whole bunch of errors in wording and all that good stuff. I want to say it's because I got more comfortable with ranting nonsense. This paper is truly nonsense too. I also laughed at myself in the beginning of the paper. To think that I was writing so openly! I'm sure I'd do it again.

The Internet

The internet? Well what about the internet really, what am I writing this
reponse about? Well to be quite honest, the internet has 3 things.
Pornography, and well I guess that's all I can really think about, call me a
creep. Sure it's not 3 things, but theres enough about it on the internet to
make up 3 things. Well I guess for a second theres information. Whether it
be reliable, shakey, or just plain fake information, it's still on the
internet at anyones disposal. People use the internet for lots of things
like playing video games, talking with people who could possibly be light
years away, or just surfing the web because they have nothing better to do.
That's very interesting, communication though digital wires and basically
0's and 1's. It's like the matrix kinda. It'd sure be something to actually
be in the internet. Physically. I'm sure scandalus, creeps would have a ball
with that, as well as gamers. Put you in the action without you actually
having to face the dangers or anything like that.
I'm not sure how I feel about internet service. I don't know about anyone
elses, but mine is really shakey. Sometimes it's working, sometimes it's
not. It's really very annoying. I don't know how I put up with it. As sad as
it might sound I spend a lot of time on the internet, just playing games or
looking at whats new in the technology world. But I'm not by any means
'computer savy' I just like being on it. It's weird how you could be all
alone in your dark, dungeon of a room but still be communicating with all
the world. Weird I mean because you're all alone but then you're not. I
heard that people were thinking about wiping the internet and starting from
scratching. Say that the internet has gotten too curropt and infected with
countless hackers and viruses. That's weird to think, having no internet for
an X amount of time because they're I 'rebooting' the whole damn thing.
Also, why do people out there hack into accounts or create viruses. I don't
see the point, I don't think I could find it fun at all. You're just being
an annoying bastard who is destroying someones computer and even valuable
information. The internet seems like a bad place to me, but even so I spend
much time there. It's probably the most entertaining thing around right now.
TV or the internet? Tough choice for some, but I really haven't watched TV
in weeks. But being on the internet makes up for that. I'm a big computer
geek.

I'd say now I'm somewhat more computer savvy. But everyone learns in time. One thing I can't remember is if the teacher ever really commented back on the things we ranted about. I'm actually not sure if any of my class mates ranted. I'd like to see what they wrote.

I'm going to go for now.
