Oh the information technology, age of science and the, Google's, tubes, Internet's, all those wonderful Techie things that we have adopted and learned over the past century, even more astonishing, the growth within 20 years compared to that of centuries past. So much good comes from this useful tool as we reach out through our computer screen, wherever we may be and touch the heart of someone on the other side of the world, send a gift at the click of a button on a mouse, learn anything and everything from first hand knowledge, find friends lost from years of distance only to be reunited on a social network, always updated on current world events through a 24 hour cycle that never sleeps.
It truly is amazing that people can access and have all of this when not 20 years ago a mere message to a loved one would take days to be received only a county away to be replaced by complete books sent within seconds and around the world. Fathers may talk with their children through video while away on business or due to the separation of divorces. Everything is faster and has sped up with lightening speed allowing almost anything to be accessed within seconds and minutes that would have taken hours and days to access before the time of the technology giants.
Social networks and the amazement of accessing past friends, lost family, pen pals from around the world, with pictures, videos, music, texting back and forth, emails with attachments and the fun, oh the fun, the games and MMORPG's allowing those excited gamers to wield their might within the time and space of those virtual universes, head to head with others. "There can be only one", Hordes and Alliances, in systems with economies comparable to the ones in real life, except there are no George Bushes to fuck them up. Adults being allowed to enjoy the fun and excitement of comradery with others in more adult like games. Dungeons and Dragons no longer plays at the roll of a dice and the imagination of the Dungeon Master, for you have now been transported into the game looking through the eyes of the creature you created; the orc, human, warrior, shaman, hunter, whatever, you are in complete control and it is your destiny to rise above the ranks and be what you were born to be, within this game, level 70, epic flying mount, geared to the hilt and, "POWER TO THE HORDE", into battle you go with experience and skill, you and your team enters and instance in order to win the prizes held by the bosses there. Never to stop as new patches of the games come almost yearly now as the levels go up, more instances, it is an infinity of calculated gaming producers and their ability to bring on the Hoi Polloi.
Family now closer than every and able to chat screen to screen with one another as though in the same room yet thousands of miles away, or even next door. For we also see that the internet has allowed some to become completely introverted within their own worlds, communicating only through the net and no longer enjoying the walk in a park or on a beach. Befriending new people at the local watering hole, or gathering at a friends house for a few drinks, the game on Sunday. No, many have become lethargic, to the point of declining health, unable to socialize anymore as they have fallen so deep within themselves that they cannot find the time to drift away from surfing the endless opportunities within the web. For some it is a web of deception and they would become so trapped by its limitless possibilities, alone and content, neurotic within themselves and surfing porn for that bestiality fix they need so bad, unable to remember what it is to hold the hand of a woman and make love as now they have resorted to humping their fists or her lacking need for a man anymore as the, "Rabbit" takes care of all her sexual needs, plus it was purchase online for a great price and the Fed-ex overnight shipping was definitely a plus. There can be no good in this. Some may know almost everything there is to know about Paris and could name almost every street within the city but this is no substitute for traveling there and enjoying the culture that must be seen with your own eyes. The sights, tastes, sounds and experience cannot be replaced by a virtual world, nor can the love of someone even a friendship be only confined to the internet as there is a whole world out there that is meant to be experienced head on, just as there are hands to hold while walking the beach, sunsets to watch from a mountain top and dinner overlooking the coastal city, wherever it may be. No, these actualities cannot and will never be forfeit or able to replace, they are things that must be enjoyed in person and without the use of a computer and a chair.
With the good there is always the bad and this is also true within the age of technology. Some would ask, "Why must the world move so fast?" or "What is the hurry, everyone seems in a rat race to get here and there with really no where to go?" Hurry the fuck up and stop!!! There are evils that lurk within the confines of the internet universe, an army of scum who's major purpose? Personal gain, selfish desires to ruin lives for the increase in their own, victimize the lives of so many through hacking personal information as though they had stolen a purse or wallet on the street, as though they had walked into your house while you were away and rummaged through your most personal of effects, all for personal benefit regardless of the people they may hurt, crush and in some cases ruin to their deaths.
Yes, ruin to their deaths, like the many young children who would commit suicide because of online bullying, to the point where they feel that all is lost and finally after dealing with the harshness of being a child, in school, with demands, wants and needs to fit in, be popular, they are smeared and cut down, belittled and harassed with psychological abuse that will send them over the edge of the straight razor from which they walk. They are the victims of bullying and the consequences are more than anyone with a conscious can bear. Children, teens, young adults giving up their lives because impressionable they are and feeling their lives are ruined forever because of the picture that someone took of them on their cell phone, doctored on photo software and then posted for all the world too see. The victims, not knowing that this is not how things will always be and life will not always kick you to the side, you will be strong one day and you will rise above these days of pain and torment, unfortunately though, this is not the thoughts within the minds of those who make the final decision the check out. Those kids that would be so harsh, some knowing and some completely unaware of the consequences of their actions, they are fucking children for Christ's sake, maybe not malicious intentions but taken by the receiver as though the world itself had just crumbled from under their feet and all is lost, leaving behind those parents and family that loved them, had no idea and will never find it within them to let go of the trauma, losing their child.
Lottery's, dating, hacking, worming, scamming, spamming, viral and all the other means of which so many people would use in order to find personal gain. Corporation's themselves targeting individuals with their pitches and sales propaganda splashing on the pages like paint balls splatter upon white walls, filling mailboxes with the contents of useless shit, "FREE", "BUY NOW", "UNLIMITED" and smearing the waves while tearing it down like maggots on rotted meat they prey, oh yes, they prey on anyone they can. That picture perfect model, splayed out on the beach, no top, hands covering her breasts in that seductive way, with eyes of enticement, "fuck me, now", mesmerizing that man on the other end into believing that she is the apple for him to consume as she is begging for him, she is a lost love, the soul mate of his life and the thirst of her desire has finally been quenched when she saw his profile, it talked to her and she knows they are meant to be. Only this girl, this girl of perfection, with all her beauty and charisma, sexuality and sensuality is actually a scum ball from anywhere, worldwide, setting up what will become their meal ticket. For all those pictures of her were actually found on the net, out of some catalog and impressed upon the naive being so enticed, who will be swallowed whole, chewed up and spit out, trusting the fucker on the other end whose main goal is opportunity. She gets the mail and picture, ripped abs of a financially wealthy European man on the, "Trusted" dating site, his words of love and conviction would have her so ever trusting that he is hers, after all, everyone here on this, "Trusted" site has been screened by the administrators and they have put security number one to protect her best interest. It is safe, they told her, it is secure, follow your heart as it will never lie to you. He is hers and without a doubt she is his and would do anything to seal that connection whether it be a small favor of giving up an email address as the, "Trusted" site is a burden to him somehow and he would rather communicate mail to mail. Or the final request to this farce equation? The 500.00 Visa he cannot afford right now because all his money is, "tied" up at the moment, he will surely pay her pack when his finances finally become available again. The girl who need the 550.00 in order to get a room at the Hotel in Senegal so she can have her sick and dieing mother moved to a more stable hospital environment. "You have just inherited, three hundred billion pounds from your long lost line of the Royal Scottish dignitaries."" Just send 400 dollars so we can process this claim." Send it right away, I need it now, and any question that these men or women might have is only followed by an answer that would dispute and concede the point leaving them no choice but to rush off to the Western Union in their local shopping center and wire the money so aimlessly and without thought because they are entrapped within the prospects of something better in their lives. With all of the scamming information, regarding these self indulgent fucks, there are still those that find the story just too true to be a fake, "they had my email, I never gave them my email". As victims put up sites in hopes of helping those beware and take heed. Some are just so taken in by the pictures and the mails sent that they become slaves to these evil people. Only to be crushed by these internet armies of hate and destruction, these mother fuckers and all their lies and deceit with no integrity or honor. Some would justify these mortal demons as are victims of a society of corruption and only doing what they must to survive. I would have to say the hypocrisy of this justification is clear and concise, surely its alright to inflict damage upon others if you are damaged yourself? Surely those American's with all their wealth can afford to be scammed by this outright disregard for human life and dignity? I think not and hearing others who would blame the victim as being stupid or an idiot. How about some common decency for our fellow people as we live in a society together, all of us, maybe a hand on the shoulder or a hug and the sense of compassion would be the honorable thing to do, rather than cut down someone who's weakness was that they went above and beyond to trust.
After all, its not only them that are getting scammed. Every single one of us has been getting scammed by our own government, corporations, media and many, many more every day. Democracy is but a farce within our Capitalists society, in the Fractional-Reserve accounting land where money materializes in thin air. Maybe through the power of the Internet's and the Google's and all that is good we will be able to determine our fates, change the coarse of history and win the war against the evil that lurks within our world and net.
