It's all subjective, though. What is intrinsically better about the "real world"? It's full of its share of dumb people (just walk outside). Working a 9-5 job filing paper is an awesome way to turn somebody into a lifeless moron. TV will help kill that annoying attention span.
I have no desire to live completely online, but I think people have a tendency to argue that the "real world" is more important since it has a pretty basic thing in common with us: we're both corporeal. But, imagine if you could truly live in The Internet: you'd have instant access to most of the world's collective knowledge and the ability to interact with millions of people simultaneously. That'd be pretty impressive!
- maneesh 17y agoI find that my attention span is way less after quitting TV and going only online...now, I can barely watch a 30 minute tv show without grabbing my computer to check stats, and an hour tv show (or a movie, god forbid) are basically totally out of the question.

- jacquesm 17y agoThat's by far the best comment in this whole thread. Interaction online is purely cerebral, even the more kinky versions of it. The ultimate in platonic contemplation, just you, your computer and your internet connection. It makes you wonder what the long term effects of the www are.
