Our Life And Internet

To reflect on the fact that the Internet is increasingly capturing our lives has already become boring and banal. Especially if you consider that this is the case ...

In order to win such popularity and such mass of the audience to other mass media it took quite a long time. Radio - 50 - 55 years, television - 15 - 18 years, and the Internet (especially in our country) - only five years. And our life "through the Internet" has become different. No better and no worse. Just different.

Just like electrical energy, the invention of an internal combustion engine or television has changed a person's life drastically, qualitatively passing to a different, higher level of development, the World Wide Web has given the same impetus. The whole question - what's more, - the negative or positive in this very push?

It is not necessary to describe the positive aspects of the Internet, they are already understandable. Freedom of communication, the ability to search for information and all that .... But the negative overlaps the positive in the same way as the sun is blocked by the earth at night .... It seems to be, it's the sun, but you can not see it ... Although, of course , The negative impact on our lives "through some kind of Internet" is obvious. And hardly anyone will come up with the idea to challenge this fact.

First. Degradation of consciousness, abstract and logical thinking.

The World Wide Web delivers information for us on any request - it's true. All the charm for psychiatrists lies in the fact that the information is delivered inferior and already "chewed", spread out on the shelves. And, in the end, a person (especially a child) does not give his consciousness and soul, fantasy and dreams of work. Turning into the next "consumer", "user", "user" - that is, a subject whose life passes through soulless Internet.

The second. The quality of information services.

It's no secret that 90% of the sites on the Web are designed to extract profit from them. This has already turned into an ugly mass phenomenon - earnings on the Internet. 9% of sites are created for what is called "boiling shit" - blogs and groups with social networks. No useful information and mnogobukoff ..... Take the news from Yandex News and correspond with the inclusion of their high opinion. And a bunch of "comments" .... To find out through such a multitude of the Internet the opinion of another guru of the protest movement about his attitude towards arresting a girl on the street that came out with demands for peace throughout the world, somehow do not really want to ... And you vtyuhivaetsya all This is on the first pages of the search ... And only a percentage of sites - really quality resources.

That 1% of sites not created for earnings - this is either an altruist blog, or a scientific resource, or simply a site of a person who has already taken place in life and simply wants to turn the world wide web into "clean Internet".

But they are few, so there is no need to consider them.

All other sites are a source of income for the owner. From miserable - a few rubles (most sites on free hosting) to several tens of thousands at the visited film re-tours and other particularly popular topics. The site is an article. And writing articles is not easy and expensive, the average copywriter (writer of texts) takes for his services 100 rubles for 1000 characters - letters and spaces. Therefore, most website owners hire schoolchildren who copy texts from sites that have also been written by the same schoolchildren, and so on. And not only schoolchildren who are unemployed in a desperate financial situation, a woman in a decree or a student rushes to even a low-paying job, and writes to become a penny ... Naturally, the quality and usefulness of such content can not be said ...

Third. Zomboyshchik

Usually, "advanced Internet users" are called a TV zombie maker. Like, you form a certain opinion, "zombie" ... This is partly true. But a real, 100% zombie player is a PC monitor .... That's where the formation of public opinion has reached its logical maximum ... And all the latest revolutions were made through Internet resources - such as facebook and twitter. The most "advanced" citizens of Egypt, Ukraine, Livi and other poor countries went violently into the streets and overthrew their legitimate authority ... And then they sat on the burnt asphalt and scratched the turnips - why did we do all this?

Everywhere, where the Internet and facebook appears, -all American mentality appears everywhere. If the authorities do not go to the concessions of the TNC (read, the US), it is a revolution and the overthrow of power. For very different reasons ...
