The things that pop into my head in the hours before sleep I just can't explain, so don't ask me to. For some reason the internet was the topic of the night in my fantasy bound world implanted between my two ears. I just couldn't help but wonder what people did before the internet. If two people got into an arguement about something factual, how did they ever settle it? Lets just say that person A gets into an arguement with person B. Person A swears that the dinosaur they saw earlier in the day was blue, where person B can't emphasize enough that the particular dinosaur is in fact orange. Did they just go on arguing until one of them got tired and just gave up?
Then the power of the internet came along, the "World Wide Web". Facinating. Somehow now people would actually know the answers to questions without having to get on their horse and ride 20 miles to the nearest library. All they had to do was click on a little icon and wait as the sounds of alien language invaded their PCs (the sound that everyone knows, but no one can explain so I did my best). This power was great, however their were restrictions when using the mighty tool. When "online" (cool new word), the internet gods took away the use of the telephone. I'm sure at first the people of the time thought "hell no I'm not giving up the phone while I'm on the internet. How will I ever communicate with people." O if people only knew.
Then, the CABLE MODEM came along, which allowed for people to be online (still said as though being pronounced incorrectly) AND be able to use their phones. The best catch of this new magic box was that the alien noises were no longer needed. So people were now truely believers, "Wait, so your'e telling me that the Intranett (people were afraid to spell the word correctly in fear of the power of the internet) is just waiting for me on my computer? AND I can like...call people while I'm online (finally fully accepted in the English language).
Like I said, don't ask...just come back again
Thanks
