Re: If you haven't grown up with the internet

Oh. My. God.

Since when has "growing up with the Internet" been a guarantee of intelligence ? Or critical thinking ?

It seems to me that "growing up with the Internet" has, on the contrary, reinforced stupidity across the globe.

I have had to warn friends of mine who repeatedly posted pics of their underage daughters on Facebook. I am not going to lie, their daughters were beautiful (um, they still are). And that's why I told them to stop posting pics of them continuously on Facebook. As far as I'm concerned, they were literally endangering their girl's lives. Thankfully, they listened.

As far as I'm concerned, if you "haven't grown up with the internet", you might just have a chance at having a bit of a head start on critical thinking. And critical thinking is the one thing that you desperately need when you are surfing the intartubes.
