save us from hurting each other.

Only we can do this for ourselves.

Our eventual physical deaths are not stopped by the internet either-

not even with the violent video games fantastically telling our brains otherwise.

A Full Life is not Lived Out on the internet.
There are tastes, smells, touches, temperatures and events.

Can the glass screen give you a hug, and laugh with you,

or keep you safe from the flu?

What else can’t the internet do?

Can it walk you?
Does it feed you?
Do you and the internet smile at each other?

When did the internet ever apologize to you?
