This is a top 5 list of things the internet could not live without in this Current day and age. Now when I mean the Internet, I mean the people that use it, not the Internet itself. I also mean browser based internet, so no MMO's, and no Runescape doesn't count either, because it fails.
Now let's begin.

5. Flash
 Let's start this list with something fun. Flash, whether it be in an advertisement to give you viruses, or you need to pass the time while the boss isn't looking with some good 'ol flash games. Or you want to amuse yourself with the latest animations on Newgrounds.com. Flash has become an integral part of web browsing. It's everywhere and it makes everything more entertaining.

4. Forums
 Forums are one of the most diverse yet common parts of said interwebs. You could be on the Screwattack forum, talking about your latest triumphs in Gaming, or just talking casual everyday things, not only is that just scratching the surface. That's just 1 site! There are millions of forums around the net talking about different things in different languages and so on. These forums have become an easy way to interract with other people and voice your opinion.

3. Trolls
 Trolls create controversy, drama, and fun. Let me explain what a troll is, for those who are unaware. A troll is anyone on the internet that purposely makes remarks that will cause people to get angry and backlash. This is considered feeding the troll, because the angrier you get, the happier they are. Now it is considered a dick thing to do, and a crime of the internet. No one can say they've never trolled before, its just so much fun sometimes.The internet would lack character, and discussion without our underappreciated bad guys we love to hate. And sometimes Trolls are hard to detect, and the line between obvious troll, and true idiot is unclear. For example http://www.youtube.com/user/CopperCab is it a troll? Probably... but maybe not.

2. Video/Picture
 With the short attention span of todays society most things on the internet are best shown as videos. I'm calling out atleast 80% of the people that read this blog that you did not read everything in these paragraphs, you just scanned through what I put where. Theres nothing Wrong with that, which is why I bolded some important phrases for those short spanned reader. Anyway, so to make things short, video is killing everything, but we still love it. Video is awesome.

1. 4Chan
 But of course, 4chan is much more than that. Look beyond the trolls of /b/, and the weaboos of /a/. 4chan is the man in the shadows that makes the internet work, and disfunction. About 70% of memes come from 4chan (which is partly why its #1 because memes are so important), RickRolling, Over 9000, Barrel Roll, Argument Invalid, to name a few. The site challenged Scientology itself and kicked there ***** back to the imaginary planet they came from. They made numerous emo kids kill themselves (think of this what you will), made fox news look like retards on numerous occasions. And manipulated the naiveness that is present in the internet today. For example, Operation Youtube was initiated in May 2009, where Youtube was flooded with uploaded videos of pornography tagged with common things young children would search for (Eg. Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Spongebob, Etc). Thus causing youtube and parents a like to fly into some crazy **** storm. In fact a 12 year old girl on youtube worded it best upon viewing one of these pornographic videos: "I'm 12 years old and what is this."

    So whether you hate them or love them, 4chan in my honest opinion is the most influental part of the Internet.
Honerable Mention: Screwattack

Which brings me to a quick question that you can answer in the comments with "A:" in front of it. Who is your favorite group of people to troll on the internet?


GOOD DAY SIR!
