The internet becomes an extension of our minds. If we use it stupidly, such as online gambling and online psychic readings, it enhances our folly (unless these are used purely for entertainment, my issue is with those who take it seriously). If we use it wisely it enriches our lives.
Being middle aged I find that Gnet for example helps me to keep in sync (well, almost) with the current generations, to enjoy the new music and art of younger people, and to learn their opinions and thoughts. I can also of course learn much about past wisdom; I learned about Samuel Johnson and Oscar Wilde online.
People gravitate towards those parts of the internet strata that their minds can handle, and remember: the majority of the population is not as intelligent as the average long term Gnetter. Unfortunately this explains why there are so many porn sites. The masses are asses, or should I say, the masses are after asses.
