Well, on the one hand, there are plenty of search engines at our disposal so we can research a specific subject plaguing our minds, such as Google, Yahoo, and God knows what else. On the other hand we can also go the social media route, and tweet, facebook, pin, or plus one our way towards the eventual answer. And on yet another hand – yes, I do have three hands – there are those aggregator websites which allow people to rate and review a selected area of interest, like TripAdvisor or Rotten Tomatoes.

Now please don't take what I've just said the wrong way, as I'm not trying to imply that we should never, ever, believe what the Internet is able to show us. No. I would never say anything like that. I'm no hypocrite. As a matter a fact, in the past the Internet has helped me out quite a bit, especially when it comes down to buying stuff, fact checking certain sources, as well as connecting with people with similar interests. Although, to be fair, while doing this, I still needed to trust my own instincts and follow my own path. Not the path the internet Gods have easily paved for us to follow so we don't think, act, or use our own brains.

Yes. I know this all sounds like a silly joke, doesn't it? But I'm afraid to say that this is no joke. To me, this is just another way of proving that some people believe computers more than they do human beings. What a shame. What a real damn shame. Although, on a more positive note, due to their incorrect presumption, some of them did actually start to follow me on Instagram, so at least that's something. Something, nothing, and everything, because at the end of the day behind every machine is a real person who assembled it to begin with, a real person with real motives and real objectives, whatever they may be. Please keep this in mind before you do your next web search! Many thanks.
