Very dark. Will it happen? I hope not. EPIC is the digital big brother in a way. Scary.

Yeah i never relized the relation ship with that and big brother in 1984 but in a way they are very much alike

Googlezon. Give me a beak. The video comes across as a media junkie's wet dream.

If the New York Times keeps getting caught making up stories, if you remember there little reorganization they made this past year they will go off line on their own. There subscription rates a not growing. As more people get there news by other means or multiple stories from numerous sources on the same subject individuals get the positive and the negative spin all at once and can form their own opinion. Getting all your information from one source limits you to one angle on any given story. That has caused numerous arguments and encourages a sheep mentality. The big boys at CBS and NBC are stepping down. There is definitely a trend of change on how we get our news. It looks like we are going away from big brother not towards it. There was a mantra that information is power. The world is changing and changing for the good. It will not be information is power it will be knowage is power. For the folks that can discern information and form their own opinion the world will be their oyster, for the sheep who have a hard time following any story, well they will be mighty confused.

I don't know if I just wasted my time or just gained a huge insight in what could possibly be our future. Very dark

googlezon....haha..... it does seem like some reporter's strange attempt to get attention but something similar to that probably will happen. This reporter obviously was chasing the dragons in this one.

Googlezon.... haha

The biggest flaw in googlezon is that any schmoe with a blog is considered news. Which means news can be and is made up. No self-respecting media outlet would allow blogs to be reported as "news".

It's an interesting read... err, watch, but a little bit too far fetched for me.

There are debates now that google's caching ability violates copyrights since it stores copyrighted material. I think you can bypass it with a line of code in your web pages.

Free news on the net is fed by advertizing. Subscription only sites don't prosper as well.

I was waiting for it to say that "Googlezon bought Microsoft in 2015" and then the terminators were released killing all humans since software was created to read the news written by computers making humans obsolete." but it didn't happen.

Meanwhile, Apple's marketshare is at 0.5 percent and Mac users are the only ones aware of the problem.

Let the revolution begin!

LOL, yes i agree it was far fetched!

Super Nova · Dec 5, 2004, 03:41 PM
