EDITOR’S PICK: The Internet

Purportedly created by Al Gore, the Internet enjoys widespread
use. However, some do take it for granted.
Be it registering for classes, checking finances or checking
e-mail, the Internet is as much a part of daily life as putting on
pants one leg at a time and breathing oxygen created by
photosynthesis. You download music, movies, games and porn off of
the handy tool known as the Internet every day. You can’t
remember having anything to do before the Internet, like your
parents can’t remember life before short-wave radio.
So take some time today to appreciate your online service, your
DSL, your ethernet and your ex-vice president for developing
technology through which all art can be filtered and distributed
worldwide in way less than 80 days, and even gain a prestigious
editor’s pick.
