The Internet: through it, we have all the information of the world at our fingertips. For the first time, the global human population has the potential to be a community.

So why do I feel, more than ever, the exclusivity of cliques?

Sooooo Viggo is saying it's all in my mind and that I should pay more attention? : P

My post was more about how access becomes more exclusive when a lot of something is available; in this case, information. Exclusion and inflation of importance seem to be natural reactions to sift out the crap from the gold, and to weed out the casual or opportunistic users from the genuine. Like, knowing the "good" sites for software or pirated shows; needing an insider to get you an invite; trying to make your name on an established forum; jargon or inside jokes.

I wrote the post while sitting in front of my computer, a vast compendium at my fingertips, and realizing I didn't have any websites to go to, even though I could have looked up anything. It was sad, lol

eh you're fine..at least you don't categorize and separate things too much.. I think? Your attention span seems to be in good working condition?

hehe sounds like data mining or Ada's trying to secretly start up the next generations most laughed meme.

Hehe...the knowledge to the world *once filtered out and dug mined for its worthiness........cute kitty clips :P

But doesn't it make sense to try to break a larger concept down into simpler concepts? Like, examining a building based on the materials, the architecture, the foundation, all of it!

No my attention span is not in good working condition. : P Too much multi-tasking at work.. it's like juggling all the time. Instead of social butterfly, it's like concentration butterfly - flitting from one thing to another @_@)

lol, I like the Socially Awkward Penguin meme. And "doge". xD

This was after I was burned out on Imgur, so I didn't even look up cute kitties! D:!!
