Bored of the Internet
« on: December 12, 2004, 03:30:12 PM »
I remember the first time I got an email ("You've got mail.".... yeah, yeah, yeah, my introduction to the internet was via an AOL disc)... I almost lost my mind it was so effing cool. Since then, various new things came along and made things kind of exciting. Goofing off on IRC, or downloading boatloads of songs.

I got to thinking about all the different things that is the Internet, and off the top of my head came up with these:

Email
IRC
Newsgroups
Bulletin Boards
Napster/Kazzaa/Bittorent
Blogs
Pron
Internet gaming
online shopping
Google/Dictionaries/Spell Checkers/Translators

So... This morning I wanted to kill some time and play on the internet, but..... I really didn't feel like doing anything. None of it appealed to me, and it seems like forever since there's been some new fun thing to do.

Like, what's the latest thing that's hit.... Blogs? They're cool and I read a bunch of them, but it aint all that exciting. I just have the sense that there's something out there that I don't know about. I'm sure of it... Hence the reason for this post.

1) What kinds of things do you do when you tool around on the net?

2) For nostalgia's sake - what internet developments am I missing off my list above?

You're missing the open source movement.  sourceforge.org.  For background and "culture" (or lack thereof since 80%+ of them are flaming liberals) check out slashdot.org as well.
