14 Nov 08 Why I like the internet…

Tags: awesome, internet

Although I love the internet for its memes, there is a more deeper reason why I love it so much.

The main reason is the tremendous power it gives to the individual. I am not talking about reading the anarchy cookbook and blowing stuff to bits, but simply the nature of how it connects a LOT of people.

It constantly feels like an insanely huge infinite tappable power source. There is just so much opportunity to achieve things with the internet. If I create something on the internet that relies on human input (ie social networking), I have instant access to millions of mouse-clicks across the globe interacting with whatever I made.

Be it an experiment to understand the human psyhce, or just creating a viral YouTube hit.

Can I marry it?
