Reason

With the rise of the internet, are we becoming bigger consumers of information than we are actual goods? More and more I’m beginning to feel like even if I had all the money in the world it wouldn’t be worth half as much as an endless supply of time given to consume the “information” (and, more importantly, the myriad ways the same information is presented) that is available on the internet. What prompted this random, non-sensical thought? The notion that I could have spent five minutes watching this and tricking myself into thinking that I had to watch it in order to reach an infinitesimally higher level of enlightenment. Remind me – why did Al Gore invent the internet?
