I’m not the most technical minded person in the world; if my laptop so much as makes one irregular noise I start crying for my tech savvy boy toy to fix it. Yet, even in my, “I still like to read a paper-based newspaper” world, I cannot overemphasize the importance of Net Neutrality.
What is Net Neutrality, you ask? There are several different definitions but this is the simplest: All sources of data are treated equally by internet service providers. Thus, no website gets preferential treatment; every website appears on your screen the same be it the site of a major international corporation or a mommy blog based in Nebraska. In other words, it’s the only type of internet you’ve ever known.
If you thought break-ups were complicated when you were still among the dating, you have absolutely nothing on our digital lovebirds of today. Where once if you got really adventurous you might have some naked-time videotapes and Polaroids to worry about once the relationship ran its course, now with the picture perfect replication of digital technology it’s a much more complicated matter altogether.
Your Grandma ain’t got squat on this break dancing granny! Check out the video above to see Grandma Tracy breakdancing at Mad Decent NYC block party, fanny pack and all. It’s safe to say that this 60-something Grandma shows us all that there’s more to aging than prunes and crosswords. YOU GO GRANNY! (via: baratunde.com)
