It's normal. Well, not normal, as few people don't, but it's not abnormal. Well, technically it is, but you know what I mean.

Snow is not a native English speaker. Your comment was hard for me to understand too. :)

I understand every words he/she said, it seems he/she want to explain 2 kinds of viewpoints.

I was just joking with wizzwizz—I understood him too. Nowadays we use the computer to watch movies but have no interest in silly TV shows. Yes, the commercials are brainwashing but it is easy to see what they are trying to do. Do you have "reality TV" where you live? I stopped watching TV when that kind of programming became popular. The problem is that the Internet is also becoming brainwashing.

"Becoming"? Always was.

Well, it has been for many years but I am thinking of the very early days in the late eighties when the Internet was still "pure". That is ancient history though.

Not that pure. (. Y .)

In retrospect, everything seems purer. Let me go down in my dream. What does this (. Y .) mean? And now I see it: boobs, porno. Yes, when I was a kid we had to do with some sleazy magazine stuffed in the back of a closet and the Sears catalog. Kids today blah, blah, woof, woof.

I was kinda joking. The Internet was created by DARPA. That ain't pure.

ASCII boobs --> (. Y .)

In the 80s we had ASCII porn on the Commodore 64.

Yes, DARPA's work so communication couldn't be knocked out in a nuclear war. Way back then I wrote a paper explaining the beginnings of the Internet. In Tokyo, we had a dial-up net with about six hundred users and then one day we got hooked into the whole world. That was exciting. My old Macintosh Plus is now a clock.
