The below is a portion of an artical from the Denver Seminary. It reminded me of those "your brain on drugs" commercials.

Your brain on the internet.

EDIT:
More like, our brain on the internet.

One key job of the Christian is to engage the mind. Christianity need not reject all technology. Yet, Christians must be aware of intellectual ethics. The frequency and content of internet usage must be scrutinized and evaluated to better promote a Christian life of thinking. The point is simple. If the internet is distracting Christians so much that a fruitful life of prayer and thought is impossible, then the internet has done its job and the individual has abandoned theirs.

This article just made me look at myself and ask, "what am I doing?" Also...what exactly is the analogy that the picture is attempting to convey?
 
That made me hungry lol.
I admit I sometimes abuse of internet but I agree with this.
