The internet has made life easier. You don't have to squeeze into your sweats to make it to the Linens N Things sale when you can shop online, there's no need to get your hair blown out for a speed dating sesh when you've photoshopped a profile pic for JDate, and if a friend offends you, simply defriend them instead of having an awkward conversation about abortion rights.
The internet really helps you be lazy, cowardly and fake and find other lazy, fake cowards.
