In
the late spring and early summer, five-thirty to six-thirty I
water my plants in the flower pots. This days, second half of
September, it’s before the sunrise and I’ve introduced an
early Internet hour. Then, I’ve lost the Internet connection for
two days and it turns into early reading hour. What an experience!
My mind was fresh, my spirit was fresh, my perception was alert.
And I’ve realized how valuable time, quality time, I was wasting
on Internet.
Actually,
any Internet hour during any day is mostly Internet waste. The
stuff on the Internet are data (facts), often of questionable
reality, often vulgar data, not information. Information is born
in one’s mind. A pile of facts don't comprise knowledge.
Analyzing, hypothesizing, and concluding from data makes
information.
You
can't google for knowledge. (Elaine Chaika)
The
main sin, terrible sin, of the Internet is that it averages human
achievements. It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people
to think otherwise than the crowd around them, and Internet and
social media are dangerous crowd.
We've
all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters
will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now,
thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true. (Robert
Wilensky)
