Opinion: Googling gobbledygook

A trillion websites and still nothing worth surfing. Is this what the Internet age has come to? When this point in history is documented from far in the future what will they write?

“By the year 2010 the planet was utterly bored with the Internet which had become clogged with the endless minutiae of the lives of the banally trivial and the daily rantings of an army of boring as bat guano bloggers."

"Countries where democracy still hadn’t risen had long since stopped bothering to censor the Internet because it proved mostly harmless. So they closed it down. Or, more precisely, it just died from lack of use.”

But what will we replace it with? In those “good old days” when you had to actually have something worth saying before anyone would either listen or publish your words, we were spared from overload by an army of unseen editors.

Sure, they artificially shaped our view of the world but somehow the really important stuff still eked or oozed out into the open.

Now we have an infinite army of bloggers and ranters with no censors but unless you post on YouTube and look half decent with your clothes off, nobody is going to notice anyway.

Anybody got a better idea? Not that we’d ever hear about it if you do anyway. Not unless you get an attractive young friend to tell us about it while wearing their underwear as a hat. Maybe that’s the idea after all. Even the news has to be entertaining.

Can we get all the soldiers on both sides to dress up in drag before viewing the next report on the various wars on terror we’re not winning?
