Content: We are so transfixed on exploring the world through a box that we ignore the world around us. Rather than going to visit a famous landmark, we can just search for it on Google Maps. Who needs to discover the world when we have discovered the World Wide Web? So, the Internet has become more than just a source of information or a simple way of communicating. It has become a way of life where people rely on the Internet to perform basic human functions. We are losing our physical communication because we are so dependent on the Internet to the point of enslavement. This technology has become a part of us, and if it were ripped from us, many think it would decrease productivity. What our minds conceive, our consciences must control. Throughout history, those who relied too much on their resources were crippled when those resources disappeared. Our dependency on the Internet is no different.
