As time goes by I fear the effects of the Internet on our society more and more.
This incredible tool has brought people together from across the
planet. It's been used to communicate, to improve life, to opening up
a good thing to so many good people.
But an attitude many take when using the Internet, especially
under-age teenagers, is that it's OK to lie about your age so that you
can do whatever you want to do. And you learn as a user of the
Internet that you don't have to tell the truth to get something that
you want. You learn to maintain your anonymity, but often times it's
better to lie or provide information that can be disconnected from you
rapidly.
In a lot of cases, especially on social media sites, this leads to
people making comments that would get them punched in the mouth if you
made those comments in person.
I remember someone had left a comment on a YouTube video about how the
creator's mother's birth canal was like a cave and that image haunts
me today.
For a long time but wasn't so concerned about is the fact the Internet
has the but as it seems deeper and deeper into the cracks of our
society concerning the sprouts very dangerous fruit
Here more and more people are caught doing something that there not
supposed to be doing the phrase they didn't say I couldn't do that!
Because our society thrives on Cortese's blitz court decisions drive
real life activities lawyers get paid lots of money to write stupid
freezes like caution contents of this cup of hot coffee may be hot.
Where I work we have to have parking stickers to get in the gate.
Recently we had one of our employees drive through the gate and be
allowed to drive through the gate and parked in a brand-new vehicle
that he had bought the night before. No parking sticker at all. When
he came up to get a new parking sticker he told us about it and said
you didn't think they let me in but I went ahead and pulled up at the
ages, waived the right through. He tried it just to see if he would
be stopped. And because performance levels so many jobs and the
expectations are set so low the repercussions of not just doing a job
correctly are hardly ever meted out this guy just made it right
through the door secure facility.
I remember we had a exchange student from China for all that was a
totally different experience for us as a family, but one of my
observations was that he was more than willing to falsify anything to
get what he will. When he was told that he had to apply for something
he just kinda filled out the application with whatever information he
felt like inside it were the parent or guardian was supposed to sign
it because he just figured nobody would check.
I know that we've had this throughout our history is a country in the
society. They just seem to be getting a lot worse. Because trust is
already so low the trust level of our society is going lower and lower
and lower nobody trusts their own family and lawlessness continues to
use.
I hope that people will strive to do the right thing and be honorable.
Especially the people that I'm around. Because that's what I'm doing.
