I just learned (well, re-learned, I guess, because I just hadn’t put the pieces together) that the internet has, in some form, been around for 43 years.
Explaining internet relationships with non internet people is hard.
“I know someone who… Well, I don’t really know him… I follow him on Tumblr… We message sometimes, though… So we’re kinda friends…”
I just introduced a stranger to Nerdfighteria through DailyBooth while discussing one of John Green’s books.
The Internet is a gloriously strange being.
