The Net and The Lack

I bought a newspaper today. It's been years since i bought one for myself. And predictably, later that night, he was quite amazed to see 'that' in the living room (if i may call this small empty space as one).
Why in the world do you need one when you can reach hundreds of news and books and magazines online? Yup, why do i need one?
Honestly, I personally think that the news you read on the net are more likely to be

1. Lack of "real"ism - in some cases, it somehow feel unreal.

2. Lack of "seriousness" - i dont know. i used the net since the late 90s. back then, i used the net to get free sourcecodes and read some gossips from Malaysia, and the email of coz. That was it and that was all, i think...hihi

3. Lack of "reliability" - if a SAHM like me can photoshop, what can an expert do? if a school girl can start a rumour on an artist, what can Israel do?

4. Lack of "sensitivity" - Some people thought that the net is the place to develop their alter ego. Fun is no excuse, when it touched the sensitivity of certain races or religion, STEP BACK. No, you cant hide behind your pc (read:ip address).

5. Lack of "knowledge" - There were those days when only scholars and journalists have the opportunity to publish their work to the public (or worldwide). Today, some people has made this world even more colorful with nice/cute/funny stuff etc, which I enjoyed very much.
Im just too tired reading rubbish in scholarly forum or religious topics. Tak larat~ These people can give their own fatwa. Just go and ask them anything. They ALWAYS have the answers.

6. Lack of "mentality" - To argue over a small matter or to brag about some small things are so high school. In real life, i live for a bigger life, thus i simply ignore these pathetic people. But on the net, if i accidentally came across one, it's so stressful la.

The net has saved my master degrees, and help me from being ignorant, and kept me entertained, and... owh, the list can go on and on,
but... (i used this word a lot, i think)
keep it real.
