I think what I loved most about this was the cynical tone it was written in. :D

[KexMex]

What IS this thing about asshats?

[Spartan-II]

That was beautiful. Also, relatively accurate.

Parenting groups become concerned that spending extended time online is depriving children of important time spent watching television.

Researchers develop TCP/IP, DNS, IAB, and other important internet acronyms.


Genius.

Scam e-mails replace oil as the chief export of Nigeria.Now that's funny.

3lit3 hax0rz, d00d: Teens become most prolific illiterate writers in history.How is it being illiterate, if we have created a whole new language?

Progress: Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".Yap, that about sums it up.

DOOM is released, slowing the network to a near stop, and worker productivity to a total stop.

Parents rejoice as the release of the game frees them from all responsibility for how their kids behave.

And yet my parents still found a reason to beat the crap out of me for no real reason in 1993. Don't ya just love old timey parenting?
