Something to ponder...

I heard this the other day, thought it might be thought provoking:

"The internet: Millions of people being alone together."

Yea? Nay? Interesting?

"The internet: Millions of people being alone together."

that comment contradicts itself,how can you be alone,together?

Instant Messaging. You are talking with someone, yet you are still alone in reality.

 

[Bushido Blade]

but you are not really "alone", your just by yourself in your house, but you are talking with a friend.

It is not fully alone in the sense that you are still communicating with other people, you can say the same thing about the phone just not on such a grand scale.

Some people go on the internet to play games like an arcade, like my dad. Still interacts with other people.

kinda the same as a phone, eh? they aren't there in your house but you are speaking with them.
