Their point of view: it is entertainment
Only fans of the great production musicals of the 1930s will obtain the reference in the title. As a really bad tap dancer and really late flowering with a shuffle-off-to-buffalo, I could watch Eleanor Powell all day. But speaking of entertainment, what did we do before the internet?
This shade and this cry that you hear is a multitude of the last healthy people on earth exclaiming that before the Internet, we talked to ourselves. We read books. We have played board games and cards. We have interacted. All this is true. The question would be better, what have we made for insane entertainment before the Internet? Of course, it is a horse generated by AI of a different color. For purity without mentality, you cannot beat an hour wasted by watching a mobile phone video of a suburbanite entitled whose botoxe front does not move absolutely while picking up a $ 11 latte to the reader, catapult his car to go further in the face of Barista and do not realize that she has forgotten, in her unmanageable bite to put her car in the park. (I realize that it is an incredibly long sentence, but where could I have broken it?) The video clearly shows it in all its brushed glory of air melting in quasi-flamboyant mode while its BMW takes place happily in the car in front of it. Admittedly, the above scenario is not a difficult game of Bouchesi, but for the gross entertainment value, that’s there.
The Internet is widely recognized as the immutable source of most of the information available in the universe. Just to prove it, I just opened the iPad to random pages and I waited for wisdom to spill on my lap. It was a bad day for wisdom. There was no shreds of intellect, intelligence, incredible factories, amazing data, surprising news or porn. I was not really looking for porn. I was just checking to make sure you were still paying attention.
But in the past, I had the wisdom that falls on me like dandruff, but generally not as disgusting. Even if the Population of Miami County exceeds 110,000 and that of the county of Shelby has much more than 47,000, this area still seems rural to me. I can see other houses from my house (but not, alas, Russia that Sarah Palin), but there is a comfortable distance grocery store, the road is mainly paved and electricity is reliable. For my friend from New York, however, we are just tremors here, if not reluctantly, emerging from the Stone Age. She is a woman who did not honestly know where the corn came until I showed her my backyard. Corn, as each room knows, comes from my backyard.
Which brings me (finally) to a completely useless statement that I read you. Psychologists have confirmed (!) That moving to the country and “leaving the city behind” can end the problems of self -esteem. Finish them, I tell you, not just decrease them or make them a little more tolerable. What if your self -esteem problem is rooted (without puns) so as not to know where corn comes from? This lack of knowledge will be damn damn soon here in Hooterville and people will ask you more and more questions. Guaranteed not to do your self -esteem a little good.
I also discovered that there are 80,000 hamburger in the United States and that a certain fearless soul was determined to find the best hamburger of each state. Even if it was, you know, on the internet, I cannot imagine how intimidating it would be to plan to try every 80,000 hamburgers. But in a related story, the number of cholesterol and obesity are increasing.
