How old is the internet?

Is it weird to think that technology is improving at such a fast rate that we're already taking the invention of the internet for granted?

Please, let's all give Al Gore his props.

I think it's a point worthy of conversation that without myspace emo would have never taken off like it did. It still would have started, and the music would have been there, but there's no way that the community would have grown if there wasn't a place for guys in girl pants to post pictures of themselves kissing other guys in girl pants.

Similarly, the stupid comedian (i.e. napolean dynomitish) would have never found a fixture in recent pop culture unless there was a youtube to fuel everyone's desire to be publically dumb.

So was the invention of the internet really a good thing? Well, let's not forget about porn....
