I know the internet has its problems, as in all the problems, but a couple things I love it for:
- finding cool people worldwide
- finding cool music and other forms of entertainment worldwide
When I was growing up (80s) you only knew the people around you, and you were basically force-fed the entertainment you were gonna watch or, especially, listen to. I doubt I'd have even liked half the bands I did if I'd had all the choice in the WORLD.
