Behold, let there be light… And Internet was made!

Yes, we’re all surrounded by it. It is growing indeed fast and no one can stop it. Did you know that 1.407 billion people use the Internet according to Internet World Stats??

You can see here a map of Internet (you don’t say “the internet” but yes “Internet”). Can you just imagine that it was all created by WE ALL?

 

So… A small project transformed in a massive-multi-reading-and-texting-producer that englobes all countries, a train of info, A UNIVERSE.

 

The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do. - B. F. Skinner.

 

This got me thinking, can we, mere mortals, give birth to a mighty and immortal thing that would eventually destroy us all? The question will remain… or at least it will remain until a bigger tool shows up. This is somehow frightful, imagine, you create things to improve your life, and those things will eventually destroy it! Behold, I present you the paradox of the century: “To enjoy Internet or not to enjoy Internet, that’s the question!!”. One day we will be able to obtain everything from Internet… And… Goodbye normal life! ;(

Ah yes, normal life… What is for us normal life? I mean, what do we all get to enjoy from fun? We are nothing more than meat and bones… Barged in our thoughts… But HEY! Wake up! In 200 years who will ever remember us? We are all doomed to perish in this floating rock.
