Internet Waz Here! LOL

The internet has shown it's advantages and disadvantages. The ability to receive information is tremendous.
My coach was sitting with us watching the Superbowl and asked me a question about the Rolling Stones and their concert where the Hell's Angle stabbed the young man in the middle of the concert. I started to look up Wikipedia and my coach replied "THE INTERNET?! THATS CHEATING! We use to use our brains to remember this curse."
This information is so easy to obtain the question is if we retaining it anymore or have we gotten so spoiled we don't even bother.

I read the article Nobel Laureate Says The Internet Makes Us Dumb, We Say: Meh
and it got me thinking that the internet should be used as a spark for information but not as the only source. We need to look up information online to build interest but then go and physically account it. We should still go to the library and read the books that go more indebt or see the countries we read about in these stories and blogs. An interesting quote caught me.

Whilst it may be easy to mock the utterances of hundreds of millions of bloggers and social networking site users, the 21st century will be remembered as the time that communication was democratized, a time where the power of a few was replaced by the power of many.

Communication has been taken out of the hands of few however it has been put in the hands of many who can't really handle it at times. After watching how people pick there presidents and people in mass crowds its so hard to trust those who aren't qualified and how do we know we can trust them for giving us all the information?

Oh and the answer to the Rolling Stones concert was Altamont Free Concert if you didn't take the two seconds already to find out.

I also used spell check about 10 times in this post, my spelling has become atrocious (i spelled that right.)
