Weegee:
Ways the Internet Has Affected Me (ShadowBrain)
1) I feel an intermittent, crushing sense of obselecense, inadequacy, and normality, since I now have the ability to see that yes, someone has a computer with a touch screen and a holographic keyboard, yes, someone else can do that trick shot you just did with a basketball (and ten times better, and they sell coffee mugs based on the experience), and yes, there are about 1,000 other people who own that shirt you thought was one-of-a-kind. In other words, "ignorance is bliss" is a lot more credible.
2) Once-coveted publications such as Playboy have little to no value, besides portability.
3) I've become accustomed to rapid-fire news, which I can only presume has done a number on my attention span and empathy. I DON'T Tweet, have a cellphone, or utilize a social networking site, though.
