Re: [OT] State of the internet

Part of the problem is finding the right facts. If you read a "fact" that happens to support your argument then obviously you think it's true. Problem is, so many "facts" spouted by experts on any number of subjects these days are either misguided, biased, or flat out wrong. There's a great book

Re: State of the internet

I'd like to point out something I noticed when I was young. People tend to put a lot of stock in what has happened in the past, and then apply it to predict what will happen in the future. From stock prices to global warming, everyone seems to think that trends will continue in a linear fashion

Re: State of the internet

People don't read junk mail much either, or click on web ads, but the few that do and end up buying something must net huge profits, because companies continue to send a ton of junk mail and pay for banner ads on websites! The entire web seems to be powered by this. Bob On Oct 2, 2012, at 10

Re: State of the internet

I respectfully disagree. They would have to make a mobile device as connectable as a laptop, which in my mind would probably end up looking a lot like a laptop, at which point people would be clamoring for more screen real estate. The screen real estate is something you just cannot get around. Y
