So I got a bit bored and started paging through the "random journals." I found a surprising number of journals in foreign languages, a few relatively amusing things, a horrendous number of journals written by people who can't write to save their lives and should be embarrassed to post anything that can be seen by other humans, and one where the (obviously a kid) individual bemoaned the fact that "old people" were using facebook.

I truly wonder if these people realize that we "old people" were the ones who built the mechanism they use every day for stuff like facebook and myspace and LJ and all the rest of it. And I wonder if they have any clue about how hard we "old people" worked to keep the net open to individuals and small business users who created the amazons and the ebays and the facebooks.

I can only imagine how few of them know that we "old people" who fought and continue to fight for net neutrality and broadband access, have quite a bit to do with the fact that they can actually access what they want to see on the net.

Yep, keep them damn old people off my Internet, k?
