Right, so while I'm waiting for my Wacom drivers to finish, I'm writing about net neutrality instead of drawing about it.Here's a touching story.The year is 1945, the Nazi movement in Germany just ended, and a market for electronics is about to explode thanks to television.It's the 1950s, and now IBM and other companies are coming up with machines that think.Boom, now it's 1965 and the electronics are storing letters and numbers on big rolls of film. 1969, they're talking to each other and they help NASA carry two men 240,000 miles to another celestial body and back. The whole thing is livestreamed, but at the time it's called "televised."1977, these computers are talking to each other, and Nelson Cooper comes up with a way to put a telephone on your belt loop. A machine the size of a brick lets you talk to anyone on Earth, any time you want. Computers are common enough that the guys at Atari make one that entertains. The personal computer is now two years old, thanks to Ed Roberts and his garage.Give it 11 years until Nintendo decides to follow in Atari's footsteps. Two more years and Steve jobs releases the Apple Mac Classic to the market. This computer has a desktop and some features that not many others have: one of which is that it has a floppy disk drive, meaning one can place a little card into their computer for an entire megabyte they can carry in their pocket. It could also plug in to this brand new thing called the internet. With the internet, one could input a set of numbers and letters into their computer, and that would let them talk to any computer also connected to the internet.In case you're lost, this is 1990.Remember those brick sized radios that let you speak to anyone? They now fit in your pocket, and remember who you talk to.2000, cellphones now connect to the internet.September 11th, 2001, cellphones all up and down Manhattan are informing everyone that WTC 1 and WTC 2 have just had planes rammed into them. This information travels from New York to California faster than any train, radio, or television can carry it. Though this information is terrifying, this is information that people need. The TSA tightens their regulations and airport security hasn't been safer, even though it's annoying.2007, information continues moving faster as Steve Jobs introduces the iPhone. This device not only transfers information like a bullet train, but it also contains the computing power to stream video information, allowing anyone with an iPhone to watch the news or learn what else is happening in the world through services like YouTube.Now here's where the story turns.Ten years later, it's 2017. The transfer of information through the internet is ingrained into our lives. Many people with professional office jobs can't support their families without the internet.A topic comes along and quickly becomes hot. The topic concerns the information one can access on the internet. The conflict over this topic comes to an end and big business gains even more power. Thanks to the abolition of net neutrality, companies like Comcast, Verizon, etc. can now dictate one's internet use.Let's scale it down. Down to the personal level. Say there's some teen in Maryland that's really into science. His favorite website is unfortunately one that Comcast doesn't approve of. The information he absorbs is now restricted. He can no longer keep up with the progress of science. Fortunately, his cellphone has data, so he goes on his website from there. After getting the latest in what Google is doing, he decides to ease his brain off by laughing at some fake news. AT&T however, doesn't want him going on Fox News. He tries going onto Forbes on his computer, but that's blocked off by Comcast. He keeps thinking and comes to the conclusion that Google will kill us all.Alternate ending: Net Neutrality is approved, and Caleb goes on his science website. With his newfound knowledge of Google's progress on quantum computing, he goes on Fox News and laughs it off with some hilariously biased news.Moral of the story: M8 save net neutrality. Someday you'll be in Caleb's situation.Looking back, the transfer of information has come a long way. It brought men to the moon, and made it possible for someone to learn anything from anyone in any language. Now they wanna give your ISPs the same power that Kim Jong Un has. They'll be able to cut specifically you off from certain parts of the internet, and maybe even the internet entirely.Do you want dictators in control of your internet?
