If we get a new webpage every 6 seconds, in 6 months time we'd get 157,784,760 webpages compared
to ONE book. With that kind of content ratio, some of it is going to be complete fucking garbage.
That said, if each of those webpages had just a single word on them, they'd still have a lot more
words than the entire Encyclopædia Britannica.

I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant.

What the fuck did he mean then.
He's talking about "oh well all I see on the internet is mario game guides so the internet is
shit, you should be using it as a comprehensive encyclopedia to share information"
which people fucking do, if this old fuck wasn't so stupid he was incapable of finding wikipedia.
If you asked Goatenburg or whoever the fuck he's rambling on about if they want a new book every
6 months or a new webpage every 6 seconds, they'd take the webpage.

He might have been referencing quality over quantity.
The jab about video games was probably a convenient slight.

Only there is so much quantity that even with a lower quality/quantity ratio, there is still more
quality material than with books.
Fuck, there are websites that are just books in digital format.

Agreed.
Then maybe he was pressing that they're not using the pages of knowledge and ebooks.
And instead would rather just play games. Which is a generalization, but hardly anyone in my
classes do their reading assignments or write very well, even though they have access to that
knowledge.

This footage is from, like, the earlier 2000s. Ebooks weren't really a thing yet, wikipedia, if
it existed, was small, and encyclopedia britannica was still the biggest source of general
knowledge around. Sure, I think his argument is pretty faulty as well, but just keep that in
mind. There are delinquents and fools in every era.

The way I see it, is that kids nowadays don't absorb the information they get. They can easily
grasp and take advantage of technology of the day, but instead of using it to enhance their lives
and improve themselves; they would rather spend it making websites/threads/posts about shallow
needs and entertainment. The overuse of technology has left kids nowadays mentally handicap
without something to reference information.
Less the fact that he is a luddite and more that the kids squander powerful technology to ust
waste their days in time text messaging each other instead of normal social interaction, and that
instant gratification has overcome patience and an understanding that mastery of subjects like
math and reading comes from time spent using it, and not just lazily finding the answer via a
google search.
Just my thoughts anyways.

You also have to consider that when these kids were supposedly waiting six months for a book they
didn't have shit all else to do. They committed a lot of time to reading and other more
'wholesome' things because the only other option was to do literally nothing.

Jesus Christ. The amount of kiddies on the internet boggles my goddamn mind. This shit is from
goddamn 1994. I was 8 goddamned years old when Boy Meets World first premiered in 1993. By the
time most of you were old enough to even see the show it was already in syndication. It kills me
to see a generation who has grown up with the world at their fingertips become so absolutely
ignorant of the world around them.
ima go drink some fuckin' prune juice...goddamn kids.

I'm pretty sure he's jabbing at the students, not the internet.
'You have the internet which gets new content every 6 seconds, and you use it to beat king koopa'
Never seen any episodes but I think it's basically a rant against the people who think they can
carry their score with pop culture on some school quiz thing.
Thus the whole 'what the fuck are you guys doing with your life' speech

True story (almost). in 95 we got our first computers and dial up in my school. A most of those
pages were part of the dot com boom of people buying bulk domain names or shitty home brew pages
to put up pictures of your cats and atvs.

He meant that they have an unprecedented access to a massive amount of information, and they
choose to squander it on video games and other frivolous pursuits instead of making something of
themselves and becoming something worthwhile to humanity.
Just like what we all do by wasting our time on this website.

It's the same thing with "oldfag" and "newfag". Every generation just thinks that they are way
better than the new one. Just let the kids enjoy their childhood while it lasts. They only have
one chance to have a carefree childhood, just let them live it up.

being useless instead of becoming a powerful individual. They want you fat, complacent, and easy

the if words are written on paper then its good dictonomy pisses me off.
Today people experience the same shit they did 100 years ago, the difference is that instead of
writing about it they make videos and streamings. If you ever read an actual book that is not
fiction you would know there is no difference

That if youds <18 in the 1800s had computers, consoles, and the internet, then they wouldn't have
used it to play vidya and instead would spend every waking moment of their existence outside of
school studying on it and having zero fun whatever?
Cause I'm pretty damn sure they totally wouldn't.
