The Webs

The internet is the most glorious thing that I have ever had access to in my entire life. Even though the vast majority of content hosted on the internet is garbage and pornography. There is more valuable information than I will ever be able to comprehend floating around in cyberspace. Nearly everything I have ever wanted to know is within thirty keystrokes and a confident slap of the return key. What is more important is that human interactions across the world are bridged in a matter of seconds. Ideas that before could have taken days or even years to travel around the world can spread in minutes. Humans all over the world can communicate share and explain with millions of other people. Information has never been so difficult to contain and in many cases the internet has liberated ideas and individuals and is cause for human celebration. Some countries have even gone so far as to make internet connections one of the basic rights of citizens. The internet is an incredible catalyst for the growth of human consciousness. It has become the collection of the thoughts, ideas and actions of billions of people easily accessible for the individual and a constant reminder of the larger context of the individual life.
