Can anyone tell me whats wrong with the internet
    #11501510 - 11/21/09 09:40 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Can anyone tell me whats wrong with the internet?

i could make a long discussion out of this, but i dont have all day to explain it, so if you know about this then post.

1. the goooogly search engine empire, is making EVERYTHING hard to find on the net. i get on type in something and it wants to sell it to me!...if it lets me see it. I don't get on the net to buy things, click on ads, or buy ANYTHING! CL and ebay are for that and im tired of it!

I loved when back in the day the knowledge was important, free, easy to find, which now days things are very difficult to find. The internet to me is turning out to be a giant heap of advertising junk. That i or nobody that has a brain should purchase.

Has anyone else noticed how you can lookup a keyword or subject on ANY search engine and all get the same google results!?

2. Can anyone PM about a more deeper discussion into this, and where the future free thinkers will go once the net is soon to be destroyed, as we know it!

No. But I suggest you start by rephrasing the question: 'can anyone tell me why I have trouble finding what I'm looking for on the Internet?' That question leads the way to a number of relevant sub-questions, which can be answered (and most of them can be answered by you). This is a painful exercise, however, as it involves you accepting the possibility that part of the problem lies with yourself.

As for myself, I'm still amazed at the amount of high-quality information that is available on the net. The only thing 'wrong' with this information, is that all information needs to be interpreted wisely in order to be applied in a useful manner. It is that interpretation step where the shit usually hits the fan, and people start coming up with the weirdest conspiracy theories that are almost invariably the result of misinterpretation, or a reliance on misinformation from unreliable sources.

just maybe, however important, and direct information was much easyer to find in the past. I have watched the global marketing of the internet in the past couple of years, that there is more of hard to sort the results effect to the net. Tags, tag clouding, using people to advertise on the internet are all apart of the new web 2.0; It was designed for commerce.

There IS a google monopoly and checking the results from all of the top search engines carefully by keyword can yeild the same results,... go ahead and try it!

your acting like a therapist, you know what im talking about or you don't.

as for interpretation, yes there is substantially more info on the net now a days. There also alot of unnecessary junk on the net also, and i dont mean human evil i mean to much aggressive advertising just to name a few.

I relate to your feelings (how's that for your therapist :wink:), but what I really want to say is this: I think it's important that you substantiate your claims with somewhat objective data. Currently, you base the discussion on how _you_ experience the Internet. My personal experience is the opposite of yours: I find that more and more information is available, some of which is of a very high quality, and I also find this information much easier to find and access.

This, however, says nothing about the _average_ quality of the information that is available, the amount of advertising and the difficulty that _some_ people have in locating and interpreting the information they need. On all of these points, I agree with you that the situation nowadays isn't necessarily better than it was before. Yes, there is a lot of crap out there on the 'net, and yes, many people apparently are obviously frustrated with the phenomenon. But does this mean that the internet 'itself' (or rather: the combination of technologies, information and organizations that comprise this phenomenon) is of a lower quality or functions worse than, say, 15 years ago? No, I say. Wholeheartedly.

Btw: I agree with you that some forms of advertising are annoying. However, there are often ways available to limit the annoyance, such as pop-up blockers, anti-spyware tools and the possibilities for configuring Internet browsers to e.g. disable certain types of content.
