It’s time to fess up: I’ve been, occasionally, thinking about making up false information about the Internet so people I know who are new to it don’t use it.
It’s bad. I know. I leave the moral judgment at the door.
My favorite one, by far, is telling people that the Internet is only open from 9am to 9pm every day and is closed on Sundays. It just won’t work. You go somewhere, it’s closed. I am also thinking of telling people that AOL doesn’t work on the Internet (“they’re incompatible”), CDs don’t work on the Internet (ahem), and the Internet requires a faster hard drive (not CPU, you’ll notice.)
Think it’ll work? It’ll take a miracle. Got any ideas about closing the Internet?
