Internet

So many gifs of animals, so little time.

The Internet is one of the greatest technological innovations of the human race. Whether that is a good thing or not is a matter of personal opinion. The good things humans do with the internet is help research for information, earn money, yadayada. There are also many other things humans do with the internet, and many, many, of them are quite stupid and are a waste of time.

Just be careful what you put on it, as you may get tracked down by unsavory people.

Revenge of the Fallen film

Given the rather shaky cover up about the events at Mission City Los Angeles, a number of people remained skeptical about whether or not giant alien robots were walking the Earth. Rather than suck the sack of mainstream media, Leo Spitz and his friends Sharsky and Fassbinder set up The Real Effing Deal, a website dedicated to spreading the truth about how aliens were on Earth. Seymour Simmons did the same thing with GiantEffingRobots.com, feeding more relevant information about how to fight the Transformers as Robo-Warrior. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Silas and Airachnid used a social networking site to track down Jack Darby. Crisscross Raf Esquivel routinely surfed the net, using his impressive hacking skills and Autobot technology to replace reports of Transformer sightings (mainly Bumblebee) on conspiracy websites with pictures of cats One Shall Fall and the tap-dancing monkey. While he was surfing, Raf stumbled on a report of Red Energon. Unbeknownst to the Autobots, Starscream had located the same report, having learned to tap into the Internet himself. Aside from this useful lead, he had dismissed almost the entire Internet as being useless... though he did find some entertainment value in a video of a dancing monkey. New Recruit
