Some say the net is
A corrupting influence
On modern day youth
But keep in mind that
Socrates said the same of
The written language
My two cents in this
Is that the web is a tool
The most powerful
For with it we can
Whole new worlds and cultures that
For else wouldn't be
We can create minds
Artificial, but like us,
To explore this world
We can spread the word
News is real time, and we
Have a say in it
However, this can
Push people to their own deaths
War, or to ******
With so much to know
Falsehoods are also present
In this shifting world
But in the end, this
Is info's greatest tool yet
In history's time
Time and time again
From writing to printing press
This change has been good
So, in the end, we
Now have information's best
Tool in our hand's palms
Come what may, but I
Have some hopes for the future
Of this little web
