Discount Home Gyms or Future of the Internet
500 years ago politics used a word religion to excuse themselves of their decisions. Later has come the use of a word nation, today we have a word economy used as an excuse. Internet is not so old so there is no history of internet imbecility yet, however we may observe that during its childhood internet addicts use a word information as a key to estimate pages, as an excuse. Information itself is supposed to be positive. But does it really make sense? Is the information itself worth anything? What is the color of the underwear of the British King? What is the composition of a bomb? How not to pay taxes at all? Are answers to these questions informative? For sure they are. Stupidity is fatter than wisdom. Here is another example of discount home gyms. Google has indexed 272,000 pages where discount home gyms are mentioned. Why do we have to write so much about discount home gym machines? Let’s look at the first website. The first statement: "Discount home gyms are a good way to get your body in shape". Page number two: "We know that finding the best home gyms can be a daunting task." Page number three: "The problem with picking a home gym is the sheer amount of choices you have." Of course all this is information. Information is an excuse to write about anything in every possible manner. There is a similarity between adolescence of a child and this era of internet. At the beginning we have to experiment, to move in all possible directions, to use all the words we get to know, we get to hear, to repeat them without any sense or order. When will it end? When will the childhood period of the net terminate? I don’t know the date, but I know what has to happen. Someone (internet) has to mature. There’s only one way to mature: to make a big mistake, almost mortal, to understand its own limits and to understand that information is not a sacred entity, free from connections with good and evil, or yang and ying, if you prefer this way of talking. One day in the future internet will hurt us so deeply, that we’ll have no choice – the era of free information will come to its end.
Comment to the Author of Discount Home Gyms or Future of the Internet
In agreement with the undisputable fact that the information highway has created a pile of idiocy and offers an excuse for anyone with a keyboard to write any self-indulgent nonsense and publish it as information, and with wholehearted agreement offer praise for the statement that much of the current internet information reflects the knowledge and thinking capacity of an adolescence child, I propose the following questions for the author’s consideration:
1. how will the internet mature if intellectuals, thinkers and capable writers only add to the online garbage instead of offering quality content and genuine information to readers who authentically search for a higher standard of information, be it about a service, a product, a film, literature, historical facts or even online medical advice?
2. is it not true that the internet, while housing massive quantities of useless and pointless viewpoints disguised as facts, also offers quality well-researched information in places like Wikepedia, where intelligent volunteers (free of remuneration) write about and teach what they know?
3. is the internet not similar to television/film/cinema mediums that offer idiotic programs for mindless viewers, but also provide outlets for such things as Discovery Channel, National Geographic etc, and provide a medium for producers, writers and actors of outstanding quality, a means to offer their scripts and scenes and information to the world? Actor/directors/producers (for example Woody Allen) work in the same sphere as Hollywood writers and producers who deliver mindless stupidity, but some choose a different use of the same medium. Instead of adding to the overall TV/film/cinema garbage, some choose to offer the world intelligent dialogues, cinema worthy of watching, even information that’s useful, informative, entertaining or in some way interesting. If this is true for television and cinema, could an internet writer not do something similar, use a medium that is deficient and faulty and overall immature to offer quality to those who want it and search for it using specific keywords?
4. it’s obvious that the author of the piece “Discount Home Gyms or Future of the Internet”, is not only a highly intelligent individual and probably a very competent writer, but one who has discovered a means to use the keyword system as a way to earn a living; therefore, would it not be reasonable that such a person should not turn around like a rabid dog and bite the very hand that feeds it? Would it not be better for an author with such mature abilities to use the internet medium, not to add rubbish to an already overloaded cyber dumpsite, but instead to offer mature content on pertinent subjects that readers may find helpful?
5. if those who have the ability to write quality information merely criticized the system and the internet medium, how then is it possible that we can actually find useful help online when we need it? How is it that when we need information on what to do for a sick cat (but can’t afford to go to a vet), or when we need to know what to do when we see spots appearing that look like Chicken pox, we can actually type in a keyword and get free information that’s helpful and fairly accurate?
In conclusion, I propose that the maturity of the internet will grow because the demand for quality content will create the supply, and because small, perhaps unknown (yet intelligent) writers will choose to take the time to research and compile and write accurate information about topics they know something about (and of which they themselves care about) and will offer it to others who need this information.
