20 Things I Learned From The Internet

Written by kludge

You want it, you can find it online.
If you don’t want it, you can also find it online.
It might take a while.
Sometimes the hunt is half the fun.
Everyone has a website. Grandfathers, mothers and babies. Everyone.
At some point, Google became a verb.
The difference between web surfing with IE and Firefox is the difference between body armor and a trendy cotton vest.
If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
The Internet is the geeks playground. Here, we rule.
Not that you would ever need to know the dietary habits of the South American anteater, but it’s comforting to know you could find it online if you did.
When in doubt, Wikipedia.
Anyone who uses the term ‘Interweb’ has never been online.
Explaining the Internet to someone who’s never been online, is like explaining the Magna Carta to your cat.
Almost everything of substance can be summed up with a “DUDE! Check this out!’ and a hyperlink.
Be safe. Be cynical.
Some else already said it first. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be said again, and again…
The Internet IS redundancy.
There is no such thing as ‘sufficient bandwidth’.
There’s always something new.
You can never go back once you’ve tried it.

3 Crystal July 14, 2008 at 02:28: Omg so true about the Magna Carta part. Imagine if three generations are wiped out, no one would understand the net anymore!
4 Charles Nickalopoulos August 4, 2008 at 07:08: Maybe someone is getting to read my post for the first time. Well, congratulations! Of course I have nothing new to write, but the top of the morning to you.

Wikipedia is not even accepted as a information citation source by most colleges as it’s mostly unreliable. Having once actually seen for myself an article stating the president of the US is Homer Simpson, I know for sure that it’s as reliable as an urban legend
