QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Nov 19 2015, 02:57 AM) Perhaps happiest are those that know least. I think that depends on the person. Knowledge without thought or understanding is dangerous.

I see what you are saying, but I would say that 'Knowledge without thought' is not really 'knowing'. In fact, you have hit on something as I would say that broadly speaking that is what the Internet is: Knowledge without thought.

It is also like people saying 'it is my opinion,' but opinion without substance is just blowing in the wind.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Nov 19 2015, 02:16 PM) Best thing about t'interweb? Everyone can voice an opinion. Worst thing about t'interweb? Everyone can voice an opinion. Sometimes the one eyed man thinks he is king of the blind internet.

Theirs always a scrap of evidence to prove some crappy point however vaguely related to the discussion. For example the Telegraph article sourced earlier that was largely irrelevant but made the poster think they were making a valid counterargument.

QUOTE (Nothing Much @ Nov 19 2015, 05:40 PM) I write emails and other posts in my head at bedtime and thankfully fall asleep. A bit like counting sheep. They are forgotten by morning which is a relief for all parties I am sure. Internet is troublesome, but when they open up the box for cable nearby I panic...pretty stupid really. It has invaded your life. ce Or it enhances your life. When we finally got fibre optic I was delighted.
