Happy 40th Birthday Internet!

Forty years ago, in 1969, at a UCLA lab, researchers managed to connect two computers and send data between them through a cable only a few feet long. What was then the roots of a military and academic network has now become the largest communications platform of all. Business, games, art and even love have been boosted because of the internet and all in the name of one and only one thing only: porn.

Yes, the internet’s true purpose has been the liberation of smut unto the world without borders or discrimination, from hentai to furry balloon popping fetishists, the internet has united humanity in its love of porn.

And sure along the way it has paved the way for many new industries and hobbies such as the ones we’ve come to love the most: anime and video games. We’d have to buy extremely overpriced anime DVDs from series we don’t even know if we’ll like without fansubs. We wouldn’t have online games, and of course, I wouldn’t be able to be writing this nor would you be reading it. I’ve been using the internet for 14 years of my life and I’m a better person because of it (or so I tell myself). So let’s hear it for the internet and all the joys and horrors it has brought us. Happy birthday, pal!
