You know, I'm sitting here at 4:10 AM EST and thinking about the whole Internet phenomenon. As of this year I am 29 years old and remember growing up without the Internet. I remember mostly going to school, riding my bike, and listening to music on cassette tape.

1995 was the year I entered college and actually discovered the power of the Internet. Funny thing about it was that discovering Internet porn was a major motivator for buying my very first computer.

A lot of us take the Internet for granted but sometimes I just have to step back and acknowledge how communications has changed because of the net. I mean, you don't need to use stamps and envelopes anymore, if you want to learn about a subject all you have to do is google it, matter fact I met the girl I'm currently talking to from an Internet forum. On top of that, I couldn't be sitting here typing these random thoughts without the net.

I guess there really is no point to this post other than me sometimes having the need to put things into perspective. Any thoughts?
