Behold the series of tubes we call the internet!
Much has evolved since Al Gore’s invention debuted way back in 1995. I doubt our former VP could have foreseen the many useful ways in which the internet now improves our daily lives, the most popular of which are:
- Reading articles that aren’t actually articles, but lists (e.g. “23 Reasons why Paragraphs are so Passé”)
- Expressing self-righteous indignation toward the hot topic du jour (BTW, I’m extremely curious how each of you feels about Donald Trump)
- Binge watching television shows (Side Note: I’m looking to trade someone an HBOgo password in exchange for a Netflix password)
- Cat memes. Sweet, adorable cat memes.
During my daily perusal through facebook/twitter/intstagram/tumblr/tinder/grindr/myspace I often find people posting motivational and thought-provoking quotes. Why think for yourself when a famous person can do it for you, amiright? And the person I perhaps see quoted more than anyone else is none other than our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.
Side note: I’m trying to get my Lincoln Impersonator For-Hire business going. Teachers/Maids of Honor, please call me if you’re interested. Honest Abe will visit your history classroom/bachelorette party for a very reasonable price.
As a self-described Abraham Lincoln aficionado, I present the official list:
