I remember getting my first Texas Instruments hand-held electronic calculator w/4 *FOUR*! arithmetic functions, shortly after they were released to retail in 1974 for just under $300, nearly 1/2 a then-month' wages. Still, if I wanted to *KNOW* anything, it meant a trip to the bookstore or library. 32 yrs later & I am currently engaged in simultaneous on-line chess games w/persons from France, Philippines, Russia & Yemen. As an old-groover (obviously) I find that amazing. Pre-net, foreigners & distant shores may as well have been on the dark side of the moon. Now they are in my den. & they're damned good chess players, too!

The internet allows me to insult people to my heart's content with no fear of them tracking me down and beating my scrawny arse to a bloody pulp.
God bless Human innovation!

The interweb sometimes lets me go to real events that I might have not known of otherwise.

The intnets allowed me to increase my penis size, buy prescription meds at super-low prices, and find college girls in my area.

Oh, cool. Another cave-dweller made it outside. As a sign of welcome, let me wipe your bleeding knuckles. :p
