Online Stupidity

I once read a quote on the internet that read "You can be anything you choose to be on the internet. It's amazing to me that so many people choose to be stupid." I have no idea who said this, but it's true. For some reason people don't act like the things they do on the internet have real consequences and can actually matter. For example, CCN had an article about people being blackmailed because they got naked on webcam with a stranger. Very few people would do that in person - it sounds stupid. On the internet, however, people decide that it's ok. Use your brain when you interact with the internet.
