Very accurate and observant comments. Someone (person A) was once explaining to me how boring this other guy was (person B). Person A was bored with person B's conversation. Person A said "this guy was so boring, why didn't he do something exciting or talk about anything interesting? You know, I have a smart phone here and the ENTIRE INTERNET IS IN MY POCKET. But Person B didn't even care! How boring! Scoff guffaw pfah!" I thought it was pretty sad, firstly because person A was judging person B's worth through his own perception of what was interesting (everything's interesting if you take an interest!), and secondly because having the Internet in your pocket doesn't really mean anything by itself. It's like walking around with a dictionary in your pocket but never reading it. If you keep reading the blank opening page over and over again whilst proclaiming how wonderful the dictionary is, it is missing the best bits (the rest of the book and word definitions, etymology etc.) As you state, having lots of people connected together doesn't magically make it a wonderful place if they have nothing in common and the people have meaningless lives in the first place, in the same way that having a library close to you doesn't magically mean that you'll be knowledgeable on everything inside the library if you just hang around outside. Thanks for the food for thought. Now on to evaluate my use of time and frequently visited sites to see if they are actually enriching my life.
