When the mind wonders, oh the places you will go

Umm, as a person in this ever changing society, I have the tendency to cloud my thoughts with weird metaphors and extra words(like ever changing). Anyway I started this blog in attempt to try to clean up some of my mind clutter because my head is starting to hurt.I was multitasking(watching youtube and independent lens) and I was thinking about something. The Internet has complicated our lives in ways I don't think we have yet to realize. I was browsing "the tube" for a video that would be inspiring and unique only to realize that over 5,ooo people had found it before me. Some of them realized what they had stumbled upon, and others were limited to the ever descriptive, "Great Vid!" After browsing youtube again to find another great video I was thinking that, privacy is gone. Even the Internet, especially on the Internet. People nowadays are making them selves overexposed trying to grasp a piece of the spotlight. Now posting this blog on a publicly viewed site is a direct contradiction of what I just typed, but then again I am a member of sites like Myspace and Youtube, so I guess I want it too. Now don't read this and stop in a place you are bothered by and try to raise a complaint, just keep reading and hopefully my point, if there is one, will become clearer. The internet does have it's pluses, but why are we willing to give up our privacy and actual human interaction for a slice of the recognition pie. I guess this was bound to happen, aren't we all not perfect.(I really hope that wasn't a double negative) but what will happen when we all are just limited to walking around with our brand new cell phones, texting a friend, or on the latest computer on the newest site. Will the arts end because people stop funding it? Will the government become reduced to a Webpage with a comment board. I love human intelligence, but where will it go when the Internet has taken over? ( Don't hate me because of mispelled words and comma errors, I'm not perfect)
