Odd conversation with someone a little while ago ...

Just supposing that the internet had teeth - that every day in world it ate ten people - and those 10 people were chosen at random. The monitor would open up and just swallow them whole, no chance of escape. One minute you're here, the next you're gone with just a smiley face left on the screen by way of a thankyou..)

Would you still use the internet.

Don't see why not. It's comparable to some fkwit barreling out of a sidestreet whilst driving.

Ok, maybe not the odds, but the possibility of danger in something we take for granted.

I would use mirrors and a pair of binoculars, with a system of pulleys to manipulate the mouse.

If that were true the number of internet users would fall dramatically, so those who carried on using it would find their odds of being eaten increase.

So, no I wouldn't, except for free porn.
