So let's all be barefoot and pregnant then.
Especially in today's society where people with limited computer skills lose out for jobs, and how colleges demand students have broadband as a prerequisite as more and more classes have internet-based portions, or are completely internet-based...

People need to keep up. Without the internet, what are they supposed to use? An abacus? Hammer and chisel? Pricking a finger and using it as a makeshift pen to write on a piece of birth tree mark?


People who abuse the internet (downloading tons of movies illegally, et al) - that's another story. But in our society, people seem to abuse all sorts of things to start with. And no welfare king should be calling poor women welfare queens...
