Quotes

• The internet itself is just a modern technology originally invented for US military information network. Yes, we cannot live without it anymore, It does amplify people's dark emotions, but if you can have a good happy real life with friends and family, you can realise there is just nothingness in the internet. There aren’t two worlds really, we should just use it as a useful tool.
