Now days you don’t have to buy a newspaper to get your up to date news but log on to credible sites and watch speeches as they stream live. For goodness sake, you no longer have to be dialing up 823, 143, or meet me at the fountain with your pager code because you got text messages for that now. You got the web at the convenience of your fingertips. You no longer have to carry around cassette tapes but simply carry over 500 songs on one simple device. The possibilities that were thought to be impossible five years ago are tucked away in your back pocket and majority of today’s technology advances needs the internet to function.
Thanks to technology networks sites such as myspace and facebook, you can connect with friends that you haven’t seen in years. You don’t have to go down to a potential job to apply anymore because you can fill out the necessary forms online. LMAO, WTF, and BRB would not exist if it wasn't for the internet. You can DVR your shows from your computer and promoters can spread their events to a mass amount of people with a simple click. For the fellas I know you thank the internet for them half naked images of Jessica Alba and for the free porn. haha! You ladies also thank the internet for those exclusive discount rates and having those delish laced up outfits delivered straight to you. You also get to to be "in the know" of the ish that just went down before you hear it by mouth...and all because of the internet.
However, let’s take a look at the grim side. You got people from high school that you still don’t like just ask for a friend request. You got people like yourself, reading this very blog thinking that some of these entries are about you when really baby lets spit, the world does not revolve around you. You got the ex going through your page to see if you are miserable without them or you be purposely posting them wild pictures to show your ex that you have been fine without them. You got "supposed friends" checking up on your status so that they can add to their blank bullet amo. You got people that you don’t even know leaving messages in your inbox about ish that is irrelevant to you.
You got people forcing you to indulge in information that is just TMI and because of the internet, people got unwanted stalkers or got people making false profiles with false pictures of them on it. You got people busting out business up on peoples pages for the world to see or got people talking ish because they be misinterpreting comments. You got baby mama in a rage because she saw a picture of you and his son or baby daddy be trying to start a fight with you because you mention their daughter on a status update.
Although people lets get it out there, it’s the freakin’ internet. Rule #1 from a communications graduate student: DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT IS ON THE INTERNET. Gaaaad. Please don’t be like one of them gullible fools that put Wikipedia down as a reference in a research paper, believe in an ad that the Acai diet will really make you lose 15 pounds in three days or believe in an email that a Nigerian man has a billion dollars waiting for you. If you know that it is good to be true or know that it ain't true then just leave it be. The pictures that you may see up on the net may have some circumstantial reasoning to them so don’t get your panties in a bunch because maybe he is just a friend to your girl...or maybe that crap he sent was written with washable markers. Let them people talk their ish and just press that “block user” button on them crazies. Leave the drama on the net and don't let it break you down or work you up because after all, why waste your time on people that don’t even benefit you? Look at that ish and just consider it as a mere flash of entertainment and if you are grown...
don't just talk about it, be about it.
Like a wise person that I know once said, "Be the bigger person and ignore what others say about you. We are grown adults here, so let's forget what people say on the internet and deal with what's going on in our real lives."
"Now you're running around talking, looking like a fool. I'd like to know what you going do and now who is laughing...when jokes been played on you."
