Nine times out of ten, its like this week and so, yet again time to think of things on the fly.
Last week has been very busy. Having said that I've sat there on a day or two where I did not have much to do and just bummed around on the internet. Imgur, is ridiculously addicting.
Imgur is an image board where images can be featured on the front page through upvotes from the community. As such imgur is a reflection of the internet community. What they find funny, provocative or interesting.
The photos which are featured on the front page varies from amusing gifs, to beautiful landscape photoshops from around the world and some thought provocative images which are designed to do exactly that. Force the viewer to think critically about their morals and views.

Most photos however, are just photos of cute sloths and amusing photos from the Oscar of Jennifer Lawrence being candid to reporters and photos which makes you smile, think awww and click next photos.
Don't get me wrong there are a few photos which are inspiring.

Just not as many photos as I'd like.
Maybe a few years ago I was young and naive. Maybe I wasn't so cynical and I was more positive on life back then.
But I feel Imgur's community is a reflection of the internet community. Where the internet was once a place where innovative things ideas like wikipedia was the norm, it has devolved into an escape for people with nothing to do, for a quick smile and and a quick gag.

I understand that I can still find these sites where inspiration and innovation are the norm.
Regardless, the internet has become some place to go when you need to procrastinate and escape the real world. The internet used to be something to improve the world.
