Interesting list here from the UK Telegraph about “50 Things That Are Being Killed by the Internet.” I have a personal item to add to the list of things the Internet has destroyed: My eyesight. My ophthalmologist has told me that 25 years of excessive screen time (computers, TVs, video games, etc) has left my eyeballs in a very bad state — as in eye surgery is in my near-term future. Damn Internet! We need a “Safeguarding America’s Vision Enforcement against the Internets Act” — get it? the “SAFE-I’s Act”! — that will place a tax on all monitor manufacturers and Internet operators to fund my eye surgery. Is that part of ObamaCare yet?
