This Internet Fad

I'm about tired of this Internet thing. I mean, it's about played out, dontcha think? I mean, it's not 1999 people...this is 2005. And July of 2005 at that. It's time to move on. The Internet is getting old, much like Abe Vigoda.

Let's look my history of the Internet:

Sometime a long time ago: The Internet was made by Al Gore

The day after sometime a long time ago: A porn site was created that upset Tipper Gore and she began a crusade against the Internet.

1992 - Prodigy is THE Internet as far as I'm concerned...complete DOS-based program with some graphical interface. They charged per e-mail (like 20 free and $0.15 each after that). I went through many, many, many free month trial periods. Ran like a dream on the old 486. 2400 baud modem.

1994 - Prodigy comes out with a graphical interface for Windows 3.1. It grinds my computer to a halt. Therefore, I had to upgrade to some Pentium I machine. Started out with a 14.4 modem...whew boy, did it fly. Eventually upgraded to a 28.8 for the extra speed needed for CompuServe, AOL and the plethora of other ISPs that offered free trial periods.

4/6/96 - Created my AOL account that exists to this day.

1996-2001 - Wasted a lot of time on the Internet reading jokes and stuff. So many stupid sites, so little time.

2001-2005 - Wasted a lot of time at work on the Internet reading jokes and stuff. So much time, so few good sites.

July 27, 2005 - Wrote this article about the Internet on the Internet. Called the Internet played out and simply a fad. Saved this article and went straight to fark.com to get the "news".
