Scary Thoughts on Internet Activity

Unity: The modern form of the internet is leading us to become a more unified place. Nowadays we can reach someone anywhere in the world with an internet connection in a matter of seconds. It is impossible to hide though, the NSA now has the ability to have a file on every single person with an internet connection, something the KGB and Gestapo would’ve loved to have. Everything you ever post is stored somewhere in the vast archives of the internet, nothing is truly deleted. One day we will regret how unified we are when we can’t seem to escape the people are we are trying to forget about due to the fact we have social media and it is darn near impossible to hide anymore.

Extraordinary: This is the best way to describe the rise of technology in the modern age, just 20 years ago the world was a drastically less connected place. People communicated on a far less advanced level speed wise. Today’s cell phones have 10000 times more power than the first computer and are now performing tasks in most of the items we use in our daily lives. It is also extraordinary in a bad way that people are now dependent on their cell phones and internet connections. They can’t seem to go on very long or go very far without being in contact with people or seeing the latest gossip that is posted to social media.
