What annoys you most about the internet as a whole?

[Scepticalscribe]

The ever growing harsher tone with which people treat each other.



Guess it's an array.

Yes, I have to agree with that; properly articulated disagreements are one thing, but posts dripping with corrosive contempt and substituting insult for argument, while masked by the cloak of anonymity the internet bestows, are profoundly unpleasant and deeply depressing.

Facebook.




All those dislikes aside, the internet is a truly wonderful and expanding "universe" and long may it thrive and expand.

Actually, I agree with your entire post, but especially the last sentence. The internet has been a superbly liberating space and an incredibly amazing source of information, discussion and debate - at its best. It is certainly the most revolutionary change I have experienced in my life - literally, I have found it transformational in the way information is accessed, retrieved, and processed.

Definitely the shorthand and awful grammar.

Oh, gods, yes. A big amen to that.

When people type/write in "text lingo".

You have a full keyboard. Use it to it's full capabilities.


Even on a phone it annoys me. It's barely saving you 5 seconds..

I couldn't agree more.

Social networks.. the lot of them.. A constant reminder of how some people have a life...

It is wonderfully liberating (and deeply refreshing) to find that others detest social networks as much as I do......

Cheers

Also, the people on Youtube who post just to get thumbs up.

Wasn't the internet supposed to make the work week shorter and make everything so much easier?

It does, for people in arn's position.

Too bad you missed out on the wave. Me too.
