I was most amused by the fact that this was published on a news website. Unless it was published for satirical reasons, which is entirely possible. Honestly, it reads like a segment of a self-help book, probably because it appears to have come from one. "Don't do these things for the reasons that I give without providing much explanation behind them".

The only part that I disagree with you on is that the internet makes us passive. It really depends on how you use it, same with everything else. The internet has been a very proactive and engaging thing for me on a lot of fronts (making personal and business connections, getting in touch with bands, promotion companies, and record labels, etc).
