I say it sounds like something worth investigating.

I say that destroy the internet and go back to writing hand written letters to one another and then going to the libraries to look for books to help us on our research papers! Anyone want to help me with my plan?

[Rabid Monk]

Sure.
Go find the internet, and I'll join with with a mod of people bearing pitchforks and flaming torches, and we'll destroy the interwebbernetz!

[introspective]

No one has every been able to do that. It's like the auto-mobile! "it'll never replace the horse and buggy".... well it can't take the exact place of the horse and buggy but its function may be replaced.

The internet is a problem, it is the same though as any other kind of technology that promotes communication. There will always be some people who communicate with good intentions and some who commuicate with bad intentions. It is the human condition that needs an overhaul.

When the techology was first marketed, many people felt that it should cost money to use and in that way more people would be more thoughtful with its use. I don't know, maybe that's the way to go, maybe we should be paying WebMasters five bucks a month to use it's service. How would we get billed? How would we pay? Maybe when we open up a service they send us a bill for let's say hypothetically $50 for a years subscription. I think it would boost American Economy.

Even Television is 'free' after you buy the product and bring it home, it's a completely free item. The networks make up for it in advertising products which we all run out and buy and the networks make money from the products through their investments.

Speaking of investment portfolios if you see an ad for a product or service for any length of time think about an investment. Also for Lipfinity fans: Estee Lauder went Public and Common Stock is now for sale....@46/share. I have a feeling it's a sound investment - it has been the bluechip of cosmetic giants worldwide owning virtually every highend cosmetic counter in Neiman Marcus...[I should be a broker]

I'm pretty sure that scapping the internet altogether and starting over again through "blank slate" initiatives might actually rip the fabric of our universe.

If anyone would want to do it, it would be the USPS, so they could regulate and charge per email.

I gotta say, the NSA must be having an orgasm over this...

[introspective]

I'm wondering, what happens when NSA enters the vortex and hits the zenith....do they spray intel chips and reproduce discs or disettes which is almost as bad as rending the curtain of the temple of doom in the universe, aaaaaand making a Matrix.
