so i have been thinking a lot about the Internet. Like seriously, how did the Internet exists without Google??? i know that there was a time when there was no Google, but i don't get it, didn't the people who first made the Internet think about having some sort of search engine?
Then i was reading a friends survey on myspace and one of the questions was: "is your page set to private?" She was like, "duh." This is another thing i don't understand. Why would anyone have an Internet page and set it to private? it's really weird.
In my opinion you see peoples 'true colors' on myspace most of the time. I have several friends who i thought i knew until i looked at their myspace. It's a place where you can pick your background, colors, friends, music, and what you say. People post pictures of themselves naked or just talking all this crap about other people...just stuff they would never do in person. So therefore i don't know why people would put their profile to private, are you afraid to show the world who you really are? I think that is lame. I guess i understand if you have like an on-line journal, but usually you don't show those to anybody, not even your best friend or spouse. I don't know, i guess it's the all or nothing thing. If you are going to be a slut then you should be able to show it to the world and if you want a journal to write in when you are depressed then you shouldn't show it to anyone.

some people might question whether the "real" person is their myspace profile, or how they are in real life. personally, I think they are both facades.
Should I be embarrassed to admit that I not only remember an internet without google, but that I remember an internet without the world wide web? That means, no browser...period.
Incidentally, I was just thinking fondly the other day of when it was I remember first reading about google. I was on the toilet pooping and reading about these kids from Stanford that invented a new way of indexing the web. And I though, now that is a good idea!
Actually, you may find it interesting to know that Google's first server was built out of Lego's
