Then it will be entertaining but that shit is tooo expensive right now. It is getting boring . But that is because all the cool shit is way to expensive.

As a baby boomer I can tell you what most of the people that I know, work with, and associate with. We don't care about the technology part, what we care about is having the information that we want. I don't want to put a word in the search engine and get fifty million things totally unrelated to what I was looking for. I don't want to go to a web site and all that is there is more links. (It's like padding the internet.) We don't want to sit and wait for all the flashy things to load on your site before we can even try to find the info that is suppose to be on your site. We don't care about google rank, yahoo rank. If I am looking for entertainment then it's OK for the flashy thingies. Is the internet dead "NO." It's alive and kicking. There are things for the young and old. Is the internet "boring" "NO." Remember when you were a child and you told your parents that you were bored. Didn't they tell you to find something to do or create something? If you find the internet boring do something about it and stop whinning.

One of the ways to look at the new internet is the way we view the web. Look at the direction SWOOT is going, or as David Blumenstein recently mentioned to me "browserless browsing". Imagine you don's need a browser to support your online content and it can freely float over the users desktop without borders and limits in design and functionality.... I think that would help getting rid of the boring part and exchange it to an amazing new way to show web content. www.swoot.com The better question is: where is the internet going and what should change to make it more and more attractive.

But it's on life support and I find my collection of belly button lint from major sports figures to be of more interest. Seriously, there's only so much porn, Lindsay Lohan, bill paying, stealing mp3s, and watching people build themselves up in oddball places like MyFace or SpaceBook or Gizmocrunch before you hit critical morass. The web was designed as a utility, that's what it's used for, and there's nothing wrong with that. It may not be quite dead and boring.
