  Life before the internet was incredibly boring most of the time.

It's pretty boring most of the time today too. It seems to me as if the more "painless" our society becomes (less hard labor, more free time, movies, and porn), the more boring it becomes. Reading Twitter gives me a headache these days. Oh, you retweeted that someone I don't know went to a concert that was good. That's nice. Really, I don't give a shit.

I constantly switch sides. The internet makes me think we're heading toward the Huxley scenario. And the government, with their SOPA/CISCPA actions make me thing we're heading toward the Orwellian scenario. And it is still to be decided which direction we end up.

What I meant was the internet helps me do things in the real world.
