This Internet...

This Internet of broken links and vile trolls is becoming futile, rather than edifying. This Internet now abounds with way too many trivial things. It's an idiot's lantern like TV before it. It spreads much information, but seemingly not much in the way of wisdom. This Internet of sound and image pollution, is awash with junk: with garish advertisements, pictures of cats and conspiracy theories. This Internet is like Pandora's box with all manner of evils allowed to escape into cyberspace. And yet, I guess, in many ways, it's a double- edged sword. Notwithstanding its failings, it allows me to connect with the world, without having to travel. And for that, I am grateful.
