it is very damaging to the internet / & our industry

(I hate ot admit it - hes probably right though...)

All i can say is "get in side people of britain and start f'in clicking! so I can be a millionaire by tim eim 35 and retire!" :mrgreen:

 

What a load of waffle.. looks like a lame advert to sell her book!

 

What utter tripe. I'm sure I read the same article 13 Years ago on Compuserve.

 

I've posted a reply, with hippy advice:

 

Typical Daily Mail right wing ultra-conservative paranoia.

What worries me is that the mail is continually coming up with articles which are blatantly fundamentalist evangelical in nature, whether being ludite in nature as this one, while espousing the use of crystals to heal the worried inner child.

Bad science, very very bad. The whole article is detritus. Wouldn't wrap my chips in it.

tbh i lump the mail, express etc. in with the sun & the mirror.
something to wipe your arse on. lol

 

You'll find yourself in Private Eye's 'Pseuds Corner' with such prosaic penmanship.

 

It's a book review and supportive of it, treat it as such, she and the paper were paid to write it.

time for the xxx for porn

this article re-inforces my belief that the people stopping the xxx extension for porn are evil like fred west , hitler and sutcliffe

children should be protected from hardcore porn, it would be difficult to legislate but considering the previous achievements of the human race I think its possible

either that or or the kids will be reading trumpton gangbang hugh hugh cuthbert dibble grub ...bang miss miss riding hood ...click here ....

it must stop!

 

Apparently this is the PR campaign for a book (The Cult Of The Amateur: How Today’s Internet Is Killing Our Culture And Assaulting Our Economy, by Andrew Keen). The same drivel has been showing up in other newspapers. Basically it is a press release that gets sent to the newspapers and the journos add a few words and run it.

It is the kind of book beloved by the happy clappies with useless arts degrees who had been sidelined by the net. Naturally the gobsh!tes who wibble for the review sections of the newspapers love it. It has all the triggers- the big scary internet, the need for useless tossers with arts degrees to tell us what to think, the dangers to the economy, philosophy, art, society etc. We techies tend to ignore fools like Keen and get on with building the future.

Yup usual twaddle doing the rounds, though is just me thats concerned about Wikipedia?

Wikipedia ranks well in the search engines for just about any common term you type in these days, which suggests its drawing a hell of a lot traffic away from other valid "standalone" sites on the subject.

So why build a web site on a topic and provide content when someone can plonk all the content into a Wikipedia page? I suppose this "urbanisation" of the net, means the writings on the wall for conventional web hosting.

 

Not really damaging and he's not right either

 

Yep ... Agreed
