We all know what the internet is, if you don’t know it started, in 1969 the United States military invented a system that was originally made up of two computers, and this system was designed to be indestructible. As more networks were created, search engines invented, companies formed, the internet grew and grew. By 1992 there were about one million computers in the internet network. The World wide web was invented in 1990, which is the thing that allows everyone to access information through the internet, but it’s not the internet itself. And then, we got to the 21st century, yaaaaaaaay…
Yah, so when and where did we go wrong? Can the human race still survive with this, thing. So, is the internet the greatest or the worst thing the human race has ever invented, or is it somewhere in between? We must solve the world’s 2nd greatest mystery. What’s the first you may ask? Well…
Oh, it’s now the greatest mystery with this confirmed, sorry.
Well. with the cloud system that the internet actively utilizes, you would have to cut off all of the world’s computers from each other, and then destroy EVERYTHING in the cloud. No organization in the world could do that, the internet just keeps growing, like a monster. (Insert memes/youtuber/company here)

Sometimes, the internet just seems like a mistake. There’s notable exceptions (this site being one of them), but as a whole? Meh.
But one thing about the internet that I’m grateful for: knowing that I’m not the only one who can get obsessed/fixated on a variety of topics, such as Bionicle but also much more niche things. Ever since I’m on the internet, I know there’s other people who are just as interested (or even more so) in these specific topics, it felt reassuring to know I’m not alone (either it’s normal, or we’re all weird).
The internet is irredeemable. We’re all doomed the second we pay for an internet service provider.
On a serious note, though, I don’t think the internet’s inherently bad. There’s just unhealthy people who use something that makes their unhealthy habits worse. There’s a reason we can’t have nice things, and while it’s sad, it’s just reality.
