Today, my parents canceled the Internet at our house because they view it as a "passing fad." FML

And I'm guessing they probably ride pogo sticks to work because those will be popular forever.

There is a lot to do in the Internet!! You can watch a video of a monkey scratching its butt for example.

I disagree 42. There's the always hilarious "Missed Connections" portion of Craigslist, ****, YouTube, ****, and of course, FML. Side note: Whatever happened to threebrain.com and bunnygrenade.com? Those sites were awesome back in the day...

You mean it's not? I should've thought harder about that investment in telekinetic helmets.

So something that has been around since 1960 is a passing fad? Even if you just count the 20 years it's been readily available it's more than a fad. It's time to educate your parents.

No u learn yours because the Internet came along with the computers around the 1950-60

Even though it wasn't commercially available till the 90's is was being developed in the 60's. Only a few computers where connected, mostly at 4 universities in the USA.

The Internet is useless. What can one possibly do with only a world of possibilities at their fingertips? Give it a year, people will come to their senses

For anyone who can't pick up on it, that was sarcasm

Saying that something was sarcastic kind of ruins it, but I see why you did, there are an abundance of people on here of whom sarcasm flies right over their head.. Anyway, OP... that just sucks. Your parents are idiots.
