Ever since I was a baby, I have been saying two things about computers:
1. The internet is a computer that other computers can use.
2. Internet is the new TV.
When you think about it, the internet and TV are very similar:

- They both operate by mysterious technology which no one completely understands. People suspect that TVs are more analog, and internets are more digital, but beyond that, we know virtually nothing about them.
- YOU CAN WATCH THE OLYMPICS ON BOTH OF THE THEM. NBC is very stingy with their "bandwidth" when it comes to their regular programming, making you wait up to a week after the initial air-date of a show before you can watch it online. Fortunately, they are pulling out the stops for the Olympics. I am currently watching INTERNET OLYMPIC SOCCER, on my computer. HEYO!
