The Internet Is Dead
On the day of what is being called the
largest ever attack on the Internet, I hereby decree that the Internet is dead. Dead in the sense that it has ceased to be the panacea that we all hoped it would be. Rather it has been relegated to the dustbin of human advancements along with such quantum leaps as the telephone and the television. We are used to it. We no longer have a love affair with it. We are a bored lover craning our necks at newer conquests as we drive down the boulevard of progress, all the while our jealous commonplace companion, the Internet, pretends not to notice. Advice to all currently employed in the Internet business: your jobs will be likened to a telephone operator. Your skills are already quantified. You are a commodity. You have nothing new to offer. Find something new for which to be an early adopter.
