My love/hate relationship with the Internet continues unabated. There are aspects of the Internet that I loathe will all of my heart - it's very much the center of my short story Your Worst Nightmare. You suddenly find yourself having conversations and arguments with trolls and idiots you would never even say hello to were it not for them being anonymous on some chat board or group. Being anonymous suddenly give people all sorts of courage they would never have and gives them the ability to put specious untruths out in the world with no one being able to fight back. You can basically say anything about anyone and there's nothing to be done about it. That's the lowest part of the Internet and it's shameful that such things can occur in this day and age.
The good, of course, is the ability to find information quickly, although the flip side of that is that there is so much incorrect information on the Internet that now passes for fact, that it's nauseating. All one need do is look at the imdb, which is riddled with that sort of factual error. Still, it's nice to be able to look up something and get the hopefully correct answer quickly. As to purchasing on the Internet - that's a love/hate thing, too, because that's what's basically killed mom and pop bookstores and CD stores, and the world needs those.
I have no problem with computers. I love Word, and it's made writing these books so effortless - the ability to cut and paste and fix without having to completely retype everything is the single greatest thing that a computer has done for authors.
