Here are two things about the phenomenon called
the internet, the web, social media, etc.:
1) You can find a lot of mistakes and misinformation displayed
in pretty formats as if it were authoritative. [That might be a
self-referencing joke.]
2) You can find real, vital, fresh, cutting-edge, high-quality
information being disseminated quickly that no longer needs to
wait for the endorsement of older established gates of
communication such as TV networks, radio stations, paper
publishers, school teachers, clay tablets, cave paintings,
sacred stories, oral tradition, etc.
It’s a wonderful time for anyone who has
the ability to distinguish road apples from gemstones. It's
too bad that it can all disappear with a few accidentally
well-aimed comet impacts. I guess we'd better not let our
fireside story-telling abilities get rusty, just in case.
Got any good ones?
Post 'em here for the rest of us to remember for when
there's no electricity, no infrastructure, no industry, no
government, etc. Something you write today might just go down
in history as the oral tradition of future generations of
cataclismic survivors. Who knows?
