Very nicely written, especially "those corrupted bricks of information."
I had a code to live by the time I was 18, so when Crosby, Stills & Nash came out with "Teach Your Children" "feed them on your dreams and a code you can live by..." So by the time the internet dropped my code was in place.
I might start reading something and think - this is silly - everybody knows this (but it's clear they don't) but I do. So I stop reading. I read headlines and if I really need to know more I may read a bit more. I follow my code and I don't waste time on the net. Well, maybe once a week for an hour at most.
