parasite – Definitions from Dictionary.com
What a brilliant way to kick off the new blog. A pointless definition that has nothing to do with anything…… But that is where you are wrong.
A blog, like many other things (An Email, a Myspace account, etc) is a cyber-parasite. That is the best way I can describe it.
This electronic creature is born, and is completely dependent on you or me or us for it’s survival. We feed it with information. It grows, it lives off of us. And without us. It withers away and dies. Leaving an non-updated, non-viewed skeleton of a site that no-one cares about or even remembers.
Then again, although these internet-based services are parasitic of us, we are parasitic of the internet itself. We look for a socket, stick our blue absorbing device in and ingest mass amounts of information, waste thousands of hours of time on games, look for ways to make money, chat to friends all day, enjoy the art of pornography everywhere we look, and update our profiles and blogs with that same information we are bombarded with!
So altogether, it is a parasitic circle. We cannot live without the internet. The internet cannot live without us (With the exception of Cybernet. The Terminator Series has warned you!). We coexist together and hell, I love it.
I love you internet!
