The Internet Is Shit

He makes a pretty good argument considering he doesn't even mention watmm

have to admit, i agree wholeheartedly.

*unregisters*

only things i look at on the internet is watmm, synthesizers and scat.

wow, so profound. within the 1st slide i predicted this would be another jaded bloke in his 30s going on 'i remember when 16kb was a fast internet connection/ an exciting new frontier for agile minds/ not full of illiterate kids on youtube' etc etc. by the 4th slide or so, this was obvious.

there's always been lazy journalism, there's always been misinformation, there's always been stupid meaningless wank and wastes of time. the shitness of the internet is just proportionate to the shitness of real life because it's become universally used by everyone.

can anyone actually name a medium which has remained untainted from shit?

All manner of pointless and irritating content is continually poured down the infinite hole of data, unfiltered and over-appreciated. In accepting freedom of speech, we can't hide from its consequences - which in this case is millions of terabytes of unreliable information, badly designed and clumsily written. We have failed our own creation and given birth something truly awful. We're just too busy cooing over the pram to notice.

there are a large number of people out there who seem to think that if something's not on the internet, it doesn't exist at all. fucks me off to no end.

peer-reviewed publications? (since it's pretty much their purpose)

ahh and the BBC

All technological advancements have the potential for misuse and abuse, whether intentional or otherwise. There were no fatal car accidents before the invention of the automobile. Has social networking caused individuals to make life-changes that have resulted in negative outcomes? Of course. Technology has also made it possible for individuals to remain seated and inside their vehicles while being served genetically engineered food products that originated in various plants located all over the world, consisting of animal parts one wouldn't dream of consuming. Modern consumers do this whilst being placated by the knowledge that the marriage of convenience and sustenance is a result made possible only by the glorious age of mass production. It should say lifeishit.org.

INTERNET IS AMAZING!

it would be interesting if we set out to calculate the average 'IQ' of the internet.

but..i think all of this ranting trully mirrors the fact that human race is very slow on learning important things. the fact that even internet is getting thouroughly censored and the information filtered upon relevancy shows something like when in Reneisance; people bowed at their own wisdom, so they began to structure the society in a caste-like system, where individual egos aim above those lower and create some elitist groups of opinions instead of accepting the fact that there are many different people (retarted, stupid, intelligent, creative...), stop bitching about it and do something to bring us all together...

you're right, but the BBC is part of broadcasting as a whole. put every attenborough documentary into context to the millions soap operas and reality shows. similarly, put every thousand 4chan posts or youtube comments into context with wikileaks, or twitters application in the recent iranian uprisings.

Internet is a good as Chat Roulette. Its fun, informative in a way and is full of shit.

such shortsightedness...

both of them available online :)

so we all agree on that internet is shit. or, good shit.

Internet is as much shit as general banter. It's good great, fantastic moments and utter crap. There's good folks and idiots. There's useful info and strong subjective opinion while at the same time a lot of nerdy and teenage crap.

Al Gore is fuming at this thread.

Exactly.

This kind of shit only rings with people who think they've found the be-all end-all source of information and think this is some kind of eye opener.

Fuck those people.

That qoute from that VP about wireless and Google and God is one of the most retarded things I've read all day and that's after reading a few articles in the Dutch equivalent of the Sun.

Imagine having to work for that moron.

i thought it was funny how i only found it after i typed 'what is this shit' into google... it was the first result lol
