A little bit of everything all of the time
The greatest repository of human knowledge ever made
Full of the best and worst of humanity
Idiocy, intelligence
Truth and lies
Information and misinformation
I remember the internet in its infancy
When you still had to type out https:\\ at the beginning of
Every single web address if you wanted it to work
When google was just getting started
When they still lived by their motto don’t be evil
Now it’s changed
Information overload
Wikipedia
Ads everywhere
Suggested and sponsored results at the top of every page
Ads at the top of search results
The darkness and negativity at the top of every page
The lies at the tips of your fingertips
The good you have to search for
Misleading searches
Was it a mistake
Because it is not the same
Is it a bastardization of its original intent
Tragedy and hope all wrapped up in memes
And rule 34
The internet is a wonderful and terrible place
Full of rabbit holes and descents into madness
Conspiracy theories abound
Welcome to the internet where all your wildest dreams and
Darkest nightmares can be or already are made manifest
Inspired by the song welcome to the internet by Caleb Hyles.
