The Internet Is Dead

*sigh*

I am.... like.... really really sick.... of the presence of idiots on the internet.

Once upon a time, I was the idiot on the internet. I was the newbie. Now.... I'm a freaking genius compared to what appears to be 75-80% of people online. (As are you, I'm sure.)

I first got online in 1994. Back then, "normal" people didn't have the internet yet. It was still just huge geeks who'd been there for ages and who were really really smart. So I was this 10 year old girl getting math help from my mom's friends, all mensa members. And now I'm a 24 year old who sounds perpetually 16 getting pissed off at 13 year old J-Pop fans who don't have a clue about art in any form at all.

I have degenerated along with the internet. I feel my IQ drop every time I read a thread at one of the forums I go to.

I think you should have to have a license to get on the internet, the test for which would involve essay questions. Lots and lots of essay questions. There'd be no wrong or right answers, you just have to not sound like a complete idiot. And there'd be reading comprehension skills too. You'd be allowed to go back & re-read to find the answers, cuz you can do that on a forum. If you get more than one wrong, no internet for you.

That's what I think.
