Let’s not forget the rewarding moments spent watching a green bar getting filled.

Paul C.

The state of being ‘installed’ at a computer or laptop for an extended period of time without purpose, characterized by a blurry, formless anxiety undercut with something hard like desperation….

Then again, I’ve spent 16+ years learning how to cope with the internet and maybe everyone is just different.

“A vague and gnawing pang of anxiety centered around an IM window that has lulled.” = uncomfortable silence in regular conversation.

“A sudden and irrational rage in response to reading an ‘@-reply’ on Twitter.” = How is that any different from the same thing happening in a conversation, either in person or on the phone? Are we to assume that never happened before 2008 when Twitter hit?

“The car collision of appetite and discomfort one feels simultaneously when using the internet to seek and consume images or information that may be considered unseemly or inappropriate.” = Rocking out to the Scorpions when the come on the radio, or attending in person the actual bad standup by the straw-man friend from the article.

“The sense of fatigue and disconnect one experiences after emitting a massive stream of content only to hit some kind of ‘wall’ and forget and/or abandon the entire thing.” = The emotion felt when producing the “Five emotions invented on the Internet” article.
