An article that a friend wrote about the alarming rate of growth that is happening on a daily basis on the internet.
Its one of those things that we all take for granted. That things are going to keep moving, that the perpetual machine that is the internet, and its organic nature, is not only desireable but necessary. Now I'm not arguing that it isn't. In fact I believe that we are reaching a critical mass, where the amount of bullshit and the amount to information cannot move on as they have reached a nexus. (hence web2.0)
But is this viral growth really a good thing? It's called viral for a reason, for it's unfortunate and uncontrollable nature. If you actually compare the amount to bullshit that you read on a daily basis and the actual amount of quality work you read or perform... its kinda sad.
Does this mean that we are what we consume? Really? cause if so I think that most of us should be full-up with porn by now.
then again, maybe not!
