Who are we all kidding? In todays day and age everyone is OBSESSED with the internet! There's no escaping it. People use it when their bored, when they are entertained just can't concentrate (ADD much?), when they need to find an outfit to wear last minute, to find out the latest gossip, to stalk friends on facebook and all other uncountable things! Even though I agree with some of what Klosterman expressed, I know that in reality nothing will ever change. If anything things will get worse in the future!
Even though it would be a cool idea to just pick up and forget about the internet or television thats just not real life.

In the writing Klosterman states "the Unabomber believes modern people have no idea how they're supposed to think or feel, so they convince themselves to care about whatever rules the rest of society seems to require." That pretty much illustrates all the keys ideas he is trying to express:
1. people can not think for themselves, they need decisions to be made by society (but don't really know it)
2. the internet, television, the radio, etc. is just an escape for them to hide and believe that whatever they are doing is the right thing because it is socially excepted
3. people conform to the status quo as choose by society without consciously knowing
For many, the internet gives people their life meaning... Pretty sad, but true.
