  • Who needs dope when you go on a mind-expanding trip just sitting at your computer?

    This guy gets it. An editorial on websurfing and how it serves as an inpsiring distraction to "real work". Reminds me of a classmate's early blogpost about getting distracted from an assignment by getting interested in articles. Beautiful.

  • Doctor X is a trained physician that works on harm reduction projects in real life but helps Silk Road users in his free time by providing answers to any of their questions—all for free. He started in June 2013, and received 600 questions and 5,000 visits after just three months. In an interview with Joseph Cox of Vice, Doctor X said: "Drug users need more...They need answers, and that's what I try to provide. People ask me about the real risks and adverse effects, drug combinations [illegal and prescriptive] and the use of drugs in persons suffering from different conditions, such as diabetes or neurological problems."

      This intrigues me for the same reason Wikipedia does -- it allows an almost endless amount of knowledge to anyone who knows how to seek it.

    Most mainstream media coverage has derided the Deep Web as a hub of child pornography and hitmen for hire. But though there may be depraved activities facilitated by the underground network, there are also many upstanding individuals using marketplaces like the Silk Road to ease the pain of unjust laws and otherwise do good.

    Article talks about basically the Black Market of the internet. Not directly useful, but I could work it in if I gear my topic towards the freedom and benefits of deep web surfing.

    Type "why am I" into a Google search and autocomplete will suggest "why am I here?" Type "why did" and you'll find "why did I get married?" These questions seem so hackneyed, the kind of generic lamentations you might hear in a bad movie.

    I'm not sure exactly how to work this into my possible research yet but I love the topic and so I will bookmark it in hopes of future use.

    It's possible I could apply this idea if we can all agree on me calling Wikipedia a "social networking" site. Which it totally isn't. but it is a place in which people anonymously inform and therefore can be used to influence and instigate political discussions.

    Note to self to read later. Title leads me to believe I could work this into my argument on how Wikipedia encourages knowledge.

      That's an interesting way to look at it, as a "side effect". I am actually trying to work against that theory but all of the articles are pushing for it. Hm.
  • A 2008 study suggests that use of Internet search engines can stimulate neural activation patterns and potentially enhance brain function in older adults. "The study results are encouraging, that emerging computerized technologies may have physiological effects and potential benefits for middle-aged and older adults," the study's principal investigator, Dr. Gary Small, professor of neuroscience and human behavior at UCLA, said in a written statement. "Internet searching engages complicated brain activity, which may help exercise and improve brain function."

    Mostly this article works against my topic, but Fact 5 could prove useful. "Use of internet search engines can stimulate neural activation patterns and potentially enhance brain function..."
