The Internet: Is it worth it?

The simple answer for the average person on earth might be "No!"
However, it is much more complex than that.

You might be surprised that the single biggest cause of the financial downturn starting in 2007 and 2008 was the Internet. And second to this was what I might call "The Terrorist War" worldwide.

Why do I think this?

Because all the tools that caused the Financial collapse a little over 5 yeras ago now came from the Internet.

Outside of the telephone there was no interactive tool like the Internet that could link every town and village and business on earth before the Internet. And it is said that Nations and their governments now lose at least 1 trillion dollars a year in Internet Fraud both Private and National. And it is the favorite weapon of both military and economic warfare now worldwide.

Let me ask you a question: "How many jobs would 1 trillion dollars create worldwide in one year?"
The answer likely could be arrived at if you divided 1 trillion dollars by the amount of money someone makes who makes the minimum wage for 1 year. Yes. That's a lot of jobs isn't it?

Let's do it at 7 dollars an hour which is something 1 person can actually live on and rent a room or studio apartment with $7 times 40 equals 280 which is what they make in one week. Then multiply this by 4 which equals $1120. Then multiply this by 12 which is $13,440. Then if I divide this into 1 trillion dollars I should get how many jobs this 1 trillion stolen dollars would create. I get 74,404 jobs and then there is .7619 which likely should be rounded up to 74,405 jobs. So, the Internet through Governmental and private fraud steals almost 75,000 12 month a year full time  jobs from the world every year.

Then if you add to this Corporate theft of ideas from countries like China who everyday steal ideas from the U.S. and Europe and other countries 24 hours a day, it is sort of like the U.S. and Europe and other developed countries have an IV in their arms and someone in China is drinking their life Blood like Vampires. But, if you spoke to people in China they might just say, "If we didn't do this our country and government would collapse. We have 50,000 violent demonstrations every year here because only 300 million of 1.5 Billion people live a life similar to the U.S. and Europe. We are one step away from a full blown revolution here all the time." And they would be right because what the U.S. and Europe have is a luxury to most of the world.

So, if you imagine China and Russia and Iran and other places Vampiring  all the best business and military ideas all the time through the Internet from the U.S. and Europe no wonder people might feel faint from loss of blood and life force.

So, is the Internet Worth it? Maybe not.

However, now the world is addicted to the Internet sort of like people used to be addicted to alcohol or Heroin. So, will the Internet go on worldwide? Unfortunately yes, for now at least until something really bad happens. Then I think you will see countries protect themselves by setting firewalls around their nations and companies more. So, for now it is the Wild West of the Internet. Yahoo! Pardner! How many people died today from it? Because it isn't just the 75,000 jobs that are stolen by it per year. It is people dying because of it worldwide in various ways sometimes without jobs or food. And mostly they die having no idea at all what caused their deaths?
