Why Internet Is Like A Penis
- It can be up
or down. It's more fun when it's up, but that makes
it difficult to get any real work done.
- In the long-distant
past, its only purpose was to transmit information
considered vital to the survival of the species. Some
people still think that's the only thing it should be
used for, but most folks today use it for fun most of
the time.
- It has no
conscience and no memory. Left to its own devices, it
will just do the same damn dumb things it did before.
- It provides a way to
interact with other people. Some people take this
interaction very seriously, others treat it as a
lark. Sometimes it's hard to tell what kind of person
you're dealing with until it's too late.
- If you don't
apply the appropriate protective measures, it can
spread viruses.
- It has no brain of its
own. Instead, it uses yours. If you use it too much,
you'll find it becomes more and more difficult to
think coherently.
- We attach an
importance to it that is far greater than its actual
size and influence warrant.
- If you're not careful
what you do with it, it can get you in big trouble.
- It has its own
agenda. Somehow, no matter how good your intentions,
it will warp your behavior. Later you may ask
yourself "why on earth did I do that?"
- Some folks have it,
some don't.
- Those who have
it would be devastated if it were ever cut off. They
think that those who don't have it are somehow
inferior. They think it gives them power. They are
wrong. Those who don't have it may agree that it's a
nifty toy, but think it's not worth the fuss that
those who do have it make about it. Still, many of
those who don't have it would like to try it.
- Once you've started
playing with it, it's hard to stop. Some people would
just play with it all day if they didn't have work to
do.
