RE: The depressing future of the Internet

The death of the internet will not come from the stroke of a hackers keyboard. I doubt if it will die, but return once more to what it was orignally intended, a means to share and distribute information.

If the internet dies it will be from a lack of interest on the part of user's who have become overwhelmed by direct and other marketing schemes. Today, the internet is nothing more than one giant and continuous advertisement.

It could be a valuable tool for mankind in the distribution of information of all kinds but for the abuse of it's use by the snake oil salesmen of the marketing profession.

Like the kid said "A Christmas Story", when he finally got his Ovaltine decoder pin and finally decoded his first message, "$%@**#, just another $**$@&# commerical."
