Controversial BLOB time:

Has this "everyone" given their consent for this?

Have we considered that maybe, just maybe, not everyone wants to be like our egotistical, always distracted, selves?

I just imagine a family in Cambodia harvesting their rice the way their ancestors did after having hundreds of years to perfect the art only to have the son too busy leveling up in some stupid game updating a status informing me of some unimportant fact about some pop singer to care to pass on the tradition.

The internet is nice, but not necessary. I believe that it is rude to assume others want what we have. Until an international vote is held, I don't believe this should go into effect.
