-keeping any level of privacy is beyond the average home computer user.
-the net IS so full of commercialism that again, the average user gets little real-world value - mostly entertainment only

I'm not saying it is so bad that it is worthless, but realistically, the average user is so inundated with spyware, SPAM, etc., that the actual value of the internet for all the purposes it has been traditionally touted for (research, world-wide communications, expanding human understanding) is minimal at best. (Unless of course you mean porn, FWD: jokes and AOL ICP fans speaking their incomprehensible language) |
