The dawn of the internet correlates with causation. In this case, they are not mutually exclusive. Anticipated even before the internet, the words of the Eagles “Life in the Fast Lane” ring true:

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane, yeah

Life in the fast lane

Everything, all the time

In the 70’s the drug of choice was cocaine.

Today, it’s the web.

We demand life in the fast lane.

We demand everything, all the time.

We are entitled to it.

We will steal it, even from our progeny, if we must.

We will kill for it without regret.

It is our right. We are entitled.

Your life is cheap, but not mine.
