I just finished watching the latest episode of South Park (and smsed Nibaq as usual), and the subject was about the internet. It shows how today we are very dependant on internet and that we can die without it. It also shows that we use internet for useless things (such as reading this blog) and many of us do not even know the basics of internet or hardware (Dude, just unplug!)
I remember in 1986, when I first had access to the web, it was a slow crawl, and I do not even remember what I used it for. We are talking about 1200 K modems, and hours of waiting for something. In 1991, I found about Prodigy, AOL, and other communities, but it was not until the late 1990s that my internet exposure began to expand. As I started with computer very early, I still know how to use DOS commands, and fix many simple things around windows (or even sometimes complex). As for specific laptops and computers, these days forums give you all solutions you need, it is just a matter of knowing your way around.
The odd thing about this week's episode was no Cartman?? Where was he? Could it be that he will be axed? I do not recall an episode of South Park sans him!
I also miss Mad Men, everytime I light up, I keep thinking of them, I cannot wait for the new Season to start.
