…drive you crazy

…helping or hurting?

In other insanity-inducing news: today I present the Internet.

Last week Newsweek’s (a permanent resident of 2WC’s kitchen table…in the market for a coffee table) cover story questioned just how the Internet (and all of the time we spend on it) impacts the health of our brains. The hypothesis being that it’s not good.

I don’t doubt that the way of life and way of thinking that often goes along with excessive use of the Internet could mess with one’s head. However, you can’t blame all craziness on this wonderful (at times) tool, and such headlines encourage such thinking.

While blaming all bad things on search engines and Twitter sounds like a wonderful way to live, I’ve got to believe that independent will is stronger than that.

Plus, if the Internet really was making us all crazy, well we’d all be crazy, not sitting around wondering if we were crazy and trying to blame it on the Internet.

Although, I could be wrong, in which case thank you for risking your mental health to visit 2WC today. We appreciate your sacrifice and if it ends badly you can always say Google drove you to do it. Godspeed.
