Internet is just a new form of mass media to control the minds of people who aren't paying attention

EDIT; Christ, I shouldn't have had to say this, but obviously not the only thing. I just mean for mass media manipulation its no different than radio or movies. The usage of radio and the distribution of film is still a good thing when done positively. I shouldn't have to spell shit all the way out like this
