You are Mistaken If You Think You are the Person of the Year
At least according to David Temple, because he has another view of who should really be noted as the Person of the Year..
I’ll tell you which of you is the person of the year. While you are cryin’ because your YouTube wasn’t dugg, or your linkbait didn’t work, or wondering whether Britney was wearing underwear or not, American men and women are fighting a war!
Too much for imagining people taking a stand ovation for you after reading that Time’s linkbait, huh?
But if you have been one netizen who generate content for the Internet for the good of the afflicted, then, yeah, you’re right YOU really are worthy of being labeled as the Person of the Year.
person of the year, NY Times, David Temple, social media

I just think those video bloggers did an amazing thing too! I’m so glad to take part in the internet sometimes
The teddy bear story was inspiring (very much). The Time story makes me gag. They couldn’t come up with anything better? Ugh!

@ David
Thanks also for reminding who really should be given more appreciation.
@ Robyn
Yeah, if we’re using technology just for fun I think that’s not much of a contribution.
Thanks for dropping by!
