I will say this: the internet itself is like a matrix, a bit of a hedonist, Huxlian matrix when one falls into it. It's the Huxlian Principle of the Internet: when on uses the internet, what one does on the internet constitutes one's "avatar." This is where all of this avatar crap comes from. Sites like Facebook and Twitter blur this principle, and I resent that. The internet is for living out your fantasies.

im pretty sure the internet is US (as in you and me, not the country) living out Bill Gates fantasies.

Pretty sure the internet was founded as a way to communicate and connect people.. the fantasy crap didn't come until later.
