The bad news about the good news about the internet.

Here is the news. And if it's about the internet, it's gonna be bad news, right? It'll be about a new virus or online bullying, “today a 45 year old mother of two fell for a phishing scam and had her email address stolen to be used by unnamed, evil criminals”.

Isn't that a little weird, when there's so much good news about the web?

Here's what I want to see: “today a 45 year old mother of two discovered Twitter and for the first time in her adult life was free to express herself fully, without fear of censorship, part of a vast network of equal sharing people who value her and her thoughts for the simple, trite, excellent, funny, pointless and wonderful things they are. Here's John with the weather”.
