What You Can Learn Online
The internet is an excellent tool for learning things you aren't supposed to.
Stuff you aren't supposed to know can include unlikely uses for your body parts; a sizeable chunk of the internet is devoted to this material. Stuff you aren't supposed to know can be the latest celebrity gossip, or whatever personal confession is making it big on Thought Catalog tonight. What ISIS wants to achieve. Why ISIS is a threat. Why ISIS isn't a threat. The history of Pepe and of Doge. John Oliver's latest expose. The correct pronunciation and meaning of the sacred verse you learned as a child. You can discover music the like of which you'd never dreamed of. You can learn how to replace a toner cartridge. You can fall in love. You can even get yourself killed, so please be careful.
The internet is people, and the only walls are the ones you build for yourself. Isn't that scary/wonderful?
