Let me start off by saying that I’m this year’s person of the year. I shit you not! You can even check your Times magazine. Yup I’m on the cover. Finally I get some recognition. Actually, it’s everyone. I think that the reason they chose ‘you’ or rather us is because there wasn’t anyone prodigious enough to be person of the year. In the magazine, it describes how we control the information age (using the Interwebz). It’s somewhat true; I remember reading a statistic that over 70% (correct me if I’m wrong) have internet access. This isn’t suprising, you can find the internet everywhere nowadays. You name it. Starbucks. Mc Donalds. Your local library.
The internet is virtually another world. You can practically do anything online. I used to think that I was wasting time by staying on the computer so much, but I found that I usually accomplish a lot while on the computer. I don’t even need to leave the house; I can interact with everyone online using Skype, AIM, and Myspace (one neccessary evil if I want to stay in contact with everyone). Also I can do research, hmwk, shopping; gah so many things. A computer is neccessary in todays’ life.
