Political Calculations laments what's happened to the Internet. An excerpt:
As best as we can tell, the Internet has degenerated into a massive electronic wasteland that is increasingly being overrun by cats. And Kardashians. And countless other empty distractions with precious little room to communicate useful information about real life unfolding in the real world in real time.
I fully agree, Michael.
ReplyDeleteI try very hard to avoid those growing neighborhoods on the Internet as I would in my town. I notice television news is developing the same way, if you add weather and the threat of the latest named rainstorm to the mix.
ReplyDeleteI consider myself incredibly fortunate to hang around a better sort on Internet.
I also agree with you, Kurt. I try to avoid all internet distractions as possible. I barely use facebook nowadays.
ReplyDeleteI start my days reading you, Michael and Nicholas Bate, after that, I use to spend some time reading the news and twitter. Now, I´m using my time to write a lot, too.
