Computers and Internet
Chapter eight
How many people own a computer? I think almost everyone. How many people that have a computer want a better one? Everyone. Technology is a wonderful thing, companies always have new and improved products out, I sit down now and every commercial I see is about computers or something that is new and improved. The only thing is there�s a catch to everything, you get this computer for 1 year no down payment then all of a sudden your paying out of your ass for something that breaks down or is out dated in a few months. They always have something better coming out, I remember when computers were all dos based, those were the days you sit at the computer and you tell it what to do, now they have computers that tell you what to do. That little dos computer went along way, it really did, you had your A drive, and your B drive, that was it, You didn�t have internet you had games just games , not to mention you had to be a genius just to figure out how to get the game working , then the graphics were shit, I mean they were horrible you sit down with it and all you can see is this little squared off man walking and you prayed to god that no one turned off the power because if they did all your information of the game would be lost. There were no such things as C drives you were fucked if you couldn�t save your game in time, your ass would have to start all over again, and those games never ended ever, you could play it for the rest of your life and still have like 20 more boards to go. Now a days we got Windows 95�, Windows 98�, Windows 2000�, Windows XP�, Windows XP home Edition�, Windows XP professional� and for those who know certain people you got Windows XP professional gold edition�. The computer loads and everything is there, not to mention if your computer goes down all of a sudden it has a piece of information waiting to tell you that your document was unsaved but it was still backed up, so you get whatever you were doing back the minute you turn your computer on. You can do anything on computers now a days, you got that mic , the cam , the video cam, you got everything now, Hell if you got internet you can even make phone calls to people on the net all you need is a mic and you are all set to go. Shit they have a website for everything now a days too huh? You type in Sand and you can look at sand or you get porn, I don�t know how often I search for something and get porn, I think they try to put themselves everywhere, you look for the word Heart, not realizing it you end up getting a site that has the word heart in it but it�s more like �doesn�t she have a nice HEART� who the hell knows what that means you weren�t looking for porn you were looking for medical shit. Watching kids on the computer is interesting you really got to watch them because of the porn , they look for �Balls� and they get �Men�s balls, Balls of steel, Jack�s hot ball room� I mean think about it for a minute like a kid wants to see that when they are looking for base ball or something like that but forget how to spell base so just put ball. E-mail now that was a good invention, you don�t need to go outside anymore you sit on your computer and it says �You have mail� for the older people I know what your thinking you go outside and look in your mail box because you have no idea. You got Yahoo� ,Hotmail�, MSN�, and AOL�. Every damn site now a days offers you e-mail so your piling up the e-mail addresses and your sitting here for like 7 hours just checking e-mail and MOST of it is junk mail, shit you don�t want to read. I think I have acquired almost 19 e-mail addresses and I only use 2 or 3 of them, also just to join a site you need an e-mail address, they always want you to have one so you sit there for hours trying to find a name that some snot nose little kid got to before you, of course your typing with 2 fingers and by the time you pick a name a kid half way around the world typed faster then you and got it just before you did. So you get pissed off and swear at it hoping that it will give you a name you pick, or they want to pick a whole new one for you, by this time you are so pissed off you give up, you take the name they give you. Then you have those messengers god they are something else aren�t they? You can talk on them , send files, happy faces, animals, Make a new name for yourself, do a profile, I am convinced you could do your damn taxes on a messenger, just have your tax guy on the other end and scan all the things you need to show him and then send it to him, you�d still have the originals and he would have the copies. It would work just print the fuckers out is all he would have to do. Hell you can even play games on Messengers and pick back rounds and all that shit. There is never an end to it, they always have new ones coming out and they have them in all languages so you end up talking to some Arab that has a different languaged messenger then you and he�s talking , but you have no fucking idea what he is talking about at all, your like a Buda, Buda what?
Then you spend so much damn time on the internet, your chatting, sending e-mail, surfing for things, on your messengers, then your downloading music and movies and anything else your heart desires. All you�d need is a damn toilet under your ass , a fridge, cupboards, a stove and you�d be all set you�d never have to move again . now a days they even have virtual communities where you have a life, you have a house you acquire things, get food , you name it you can do it. It�s never ending, who knows maybe one day your internet box will talk to you. Be like �Hey ___ how you doing today? What would you like to do? Go on messenger or turn your computer on? Now would you like me to read the messages to you?� You won�t have to do shit your computer would do everything , kids would never have to learn to read because a book would read to them or the computer would.
