- Snoosy, on 11/20/2008, -3/+55Too bad it doesn't stop you from being an awkward moron with face-to-face conversations.
- t3hmyth, on 11/20/2008, -3/+36Yes, important skills like how to find pornography.
- iPanda, on 11/20/2008, -1/+32Teh internets taught me this much:

(not to scale) - inactive, on 11/20/2008, -2/+24Social skills?
Wait...this article IS about the interwebz, right? - oblique63, on 11/21/2008, -0/+17something tells me that the last thing a chick that just lost her virginity wants to hear is "FIRST!!11!1!!!"
- pastathellama, on 11/21/2008, -0/+15get rid of the word social.
Go out, be with people (not always the same people), have fun and do different activities from time to time, that's the best way to learn social skills. - fearlessfx, on 11/21/2008, -1/+144Chan has taught me a great deal about humanity. In particular, the fact that there are a lot of really messed up people in the world.
- HamstaMan, on 11/21/2008, -2/+15Hey, I got a Ph.D in pornographic interneteering.
- Bebel, on 11/21/2008, -1/+12Am i the only one that realizes the value of being able to communicate with people around the world, even through gaming?
Hell, I've known and talked to people online (text and voice) in western europe, canada, australia, and from around the states where i live in for years. Sure I've never met them in person, but I'm sure that I can grab lunch with these people if I ever stop by their part of town. - Mujokan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+8Now I know why she replied "FAIL".
- TheHim, on 11/21/2008, -0/+7Pre-internet: "Well sir, i disagree."
Generation Xbox: "YOUR A FAG!" - buddahead9, on 11/21/2008, -0/+7so learning to cram as much crap onto your facebook/myspace profile page is an important skill?!?!?
- snareguy17, on 11/21/2008, -3/+9If you mean grab lunch you mean grab ass. And by grab ass I mean you'll get raped.
- jtbell04, on 11/21/2008, -0/+6I learned how to troll pedophiles. How about you?
- Loqheed, on 11/21/2008, -1/+710 years ago when the internets was newer and less mainstream everyone thought it was a place where you would find crazy stalkers and learn how to make bombs. Nowadays we sit around waiting to find out what kind of weird things are happening in the world rather than going out and experiencing them ourselves.
- cl2yp71c, on 11/21/2008, -1/+6Shooters sure have improved my dexterity.
Now I can masturbate at twice the pace.
Oh wai..... - darkcrystal, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5I made plenty of friends my freshman year of college because I was like the only one in the dorms that knew how to fix a computer. I met some by other means of course, but my computer knowledge definitely helped.
- xMotu, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4I'm sixteen, and sure you can learn some things from the internet. You could learn how to cook or photo shop, but it still doesn't teach you fundamentals in social skills.
- sirjoebob, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4Guess what: people like turkey. If this is how they have to be killed, so be it..... mmmm m turkey... troll elsewhere PETA fiend, election is over so we could care a less about this stupid woman.
- HamstaMan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4Obviously you have been brainwashed by the anti-pornography faction.
- thescimitar, on 11/21/2008, -1/+5Those were some good internets back in the day. When I was a lad, we had internets, tall as a man, ten, twenty acres of them. You ever run naked backwards through an internets field?
- jackyyll, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4I learned how to get trolled by people like you :(
- DAILYCROW, on 11/21/2008, -1/+4i learn more in a few weeks than I can in a year at school.
- HamstaMan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3It's funny because it is the truth.
- twodollars, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I've taught myself Photoshop, Lightwave, Flash, and LUA from all those awesome tubes.
- HamstaMan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I can totally agree with that you learn a lot of technical skills on the net, if you actually try.
Personally I think it's fun to jump around interesting wiki articles for hours on end, and learn about computers and programming and biology and man whatnot.
What the net didn't teach me was to not be an awkward maron in social interactions. - doobiebrother, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3Important skills such as jacking it, for it will prepare them for a life of loneliness
- sgerwel1985, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Given too much computer and not enough people skills can hurt you in the long run, depending on the career path a child decides. I think the big thing parents have a problem with is that the internet has taken away from parenting. By this i mean, no longer do kids approach them about drugs, or sex or how to handle specific situations. Because of the information one can get on the internet, it kind of leaves the parents on the shelf.
- inactive, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3social skills aka 'DOES ANYONE HAVE A BANG BUS PASSWORD?"
- dejanigma, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Skill #24, masturbating without getting caught by your mom.
- kjcdude, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Stupid teenagers!
- wakingrufus, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2the internets
- smackydoodle, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2where?
- inactive, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2There is a world beyond pornography. read the facts. Now pornography not among the most search information on internet.
- stoneage, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1It's like anything really. Just because you learn something from it doesn't a) make it okay or b) mean you should do it excessivly
- DMCer, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1READ THE FACTS!
- DavidTurnbull, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1I disagree.
My social skills are quite lacking. - jackyyll, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2newfag
- SHv2, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2finding and viewing two goatse one tubgirl is not an important skill
- chompysweat, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Agreed.
- zimmermans, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1http://individual.utoronto.ca/hiltsand/diggsphere. ...
- opticwind, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2I can look at porn and be in my online class at the same time, while totally naked.
No, seriously, I do that and I learned how on the internets. - diggdatt, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2I highly doubt that man. Nobody is going to be your best bud just because you play WOW 12hrs a day, then again if that is the game you play, probably. But lets say its Quake 3 or something, u might as well forget it.
- inactive, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1ouch... low blow!
- gixxer600, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1go get a brain MORAN!!
- gospe1337, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2I really hate when the suits start talking about web 2.0 and "social networking". I think the "reach" of social networking is overrated.
- dwalk165, on 12/02/2008, -0/+01) this may just be an argument for the net that is a stretch, but has some weight to it, so it shouldn't be ignored
2) With access to the whole world, basically, the net may not be a bad place to educate a kid
3) I just hope my sons and daughters don't learn to date on the net, the day they do is the day i tell them the internet broke and lock them out of the house until they make real friends. -
