Time to write!
Day 5: Write about an object in the room with you.
Have you ever gotten mad at your computer for not cooperating with you, or for going slow, and had someone else say something completely patronizing such as, "Now calm down. It's just a machine."?
What if I told you they were wrong?
What if I told you they were dead wrong?
Would you believe me if I told you that your computer knows who you are and is lying in wait to take over your brain?
I hope not!
How silly would that be? Oh you funny person. Computers are just machines. We just need to learn to be more patient.
Psych.

Internet Problems
Time to write!
They say you can find anything on the internet.
That's what they say, but I don't believe it.
Why, just today, I was trying to do my homework, and the internet was not exactly what I'd call "helpful". All I wanted to do was find a well-written article on why Spiderman is the best superhero of all time. Know what I got? A lot of reviews, and lists of the best superhero movies ever. That isn't what I wanted. That wasn't going to help me for my homework assignment at all.
You see, we have to bring an article to class tomorrow which demonstrates great writing technique and style, but is on a topic we don't actually agree with.
And Spiderman clearly isn't the best superhero of all time. What do you think Batman is doing here for? Being the best, obviously.
The internet has other problems too.
Like half the time when you want to find a perfectly normal picture of something and type "cute rabbit", for example, you don't get what you were looking for at all.
I don't know about you, but when I type "cute rabbit" I'm looking for a cute rabbit. Not a next-to-naked girl with bunny ears and a little cotton ball tail!
Ew.
They say you can find anything on the internet. Well maybe it's all there, but someone needs to redefine the search system, because this is getting ridiculous.
