I view what's happening with net neutrality as what happened to cable television. When I was growing up, I only had access to local shows and then the number of channels grew steadily. Then fast forward to today and you have all theses different packages that you have to pay for in order to access them. It's just another way for companies to continue making money off us.

I think they see how torrents and online streaming sites threaten their revenue and that the Internet can do to them what it's done to advertising (esp. for media).

I'm curious to see what forms of innovation and technology will come out this to try and bypass this. Maybe nothing. Who knows though.

> “You are thirty-five years old,” I said to myself. “More than half of your life has already been spent. Who is living your life, anyway? Is it actually yours? Or is it a kind of public storehouse of odd jobs? A pile of days and hours put on the counter of the world with a sign inviting every Tom, Dick, and Harry to take one?”

This was probably the best part for me. We have longer life spans and so we trick ourselves into thinking that we have more time to waste on things we don't really want to do. We can procrastinate all we want but in the end, we still come back to this question without a single clue of how to answer it.
