Ernesto Kelly Magtoto wrote a letter to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, where he alleges that the “Gestapo-like” Internet(s) has made our relationships with other people unnatural. Apparently, we young people are becoming “aggressively mechanical and error-prone in their humanity.” Mr. Magtoto seems to be railing against the Internet and computers in general; the kind of healthy paranoia that comes with them heathen computers and how much of a threat they are to traditional values.
Yep, them computing machines are ready to destroy not only our way of life, but life itself. Didn’t we all get along before these ridiculous things like “Facebook” and “Twitter?” Them blogs are destroying the world, and we’re starting to “add” friends instead of “making” them. “Gestapo-like” Internet? I don’t think so; if there’s anything to fear, it would be the big horned demons carrying big guns and wiping the heck out of human existence as we know it. Following Mr. Magtoto’s logic, we are, well, doomed; we all live under a veneer of hypocrisy, we are never “real” as “real” can be, our friendships are distorted, and these “maeler daemons” have now judged “what is proper and improper.”
Hmmm… LOL?
