Mark,
I feel #1 thing about the web is the access to a great diversity of ideas & technologies of any and all levels for most topics and subjects. We can pick & choose as each of us may care to, just to suit our own needs/ wants. But there is a bunch of "BS" floating around in cyberspace also.
What I do not care for is there is no way a uninformed persons can determine what is reality and what is not. It all looks the same on line.
BUT. . . there is a positive in that because the vast majority of people realize they are not as informed as they should be & go back gaining a broader perspective at least, before making critical or costly decisions. Like the old adage says; "Don't believe anything you hear & only believe 1/3 of what you see" or however that sayin' goes. . . . As an example look at mass media, how much of that can anybody believe?
Point is, by "Cruzin' the Web" we can "learn" where we need to learn, or learn what we need to "Laff Off". So we get educated just by experiencing it all, good/ bad, true & false together. Most of us learned lots, specifically about slicks just by sharing what we all know commonly or specially/ specifically. right here on
SLICK 60s.
In contrast, the folks who avoid Computers have their world shrinking away from them, and aren't even aware of that fact. They aren't able to compare what they know with what they could learn because they have no clue what's available here on line. I believe it's what's called a digital Divide,
"those who cruze vs those who snooze" If you'll allow me to make that comparison. . . .
When we who "cruze" make our choices they generally are informed as a result of our cruizin'. So what can I say about the snoozers choice . . . .
Nothing, I won't go there. . . . . . . .
I don't know how I got along with out my computer now that I have had one for so long. ( 16 years this year
)
