If SOPA passed . . .

I imagine something like this.​

 

i teared up a little bit.

that last panel. :c​

 

Ugh.
Too much. ​

​

 

I cried .

 

That was way to depressing man.

 

At least it looks like the basement dweller got into shape after not being on the computer constantly anymore

 

It doesn't count as crying if the tears don't roll down your cheeks.

 

I remember this on tumblr. I wanted to post this on here. ;-;

 

Uplifting. The Internet is so pointless. All it is is a false sense of belonging. This was perfectly demonstrated in that comic.

 

You know what I just noticed? The kids said that Gramps knows everything. Gramps grew up with the internet. Which had Wikipedia. And TVTropes. Fridge Brilliance.

 

What you're implying is false. When Wikipedia is gone, your knowledge learned from Wikipedia is gone. The Internet has taught us not to memorize information, but to memorize where the information can be found.

 

Not if you've already been taught otherwise.

 

You're right, it's called studying. But how will the majority of students learn anything if they have a mindset of, "Derr, I can just Google that," instead of imprinting the information on their minds like they're supposed to? The Internet has made the world as a whole stupider.

 

The ones that don't memorize what they Googled for their homework tend to do really badly on tests or, if they cheat and cheat well, in life. Natural selection will weed those out.

 

I'm getting the feeling Neal is Anti-Internet.

 

Who is Neal?

 

Does Google searching help students get better at memorizing? No. Google gives the same amount of information on a subject as books. There's only one difference:

I recently had a class where tests where performed with open books and open computers. No lie. The professor explained that this is how the world works now. That there is no longer a need to dwell on details when the information is freely and readily available.

What would you do if Wikipedia and Google disappeared forever? People have become totally dependent on the Internet for answers. This is why it must go away.

 

Newsflash: Not all professors in the world are stupid.

Also, what about the many humans who don't want to Google something every single time they need information on it?

 

If you mean Neal as in Nell my username, I am not anti-Internet. I think the Internet is a good thing. I just wondered if it was possible to argue this side based on the knowledge of Internet that I have.
