As you read this, you should feel special. Currently you represent a whopping .0000000579% of all worldwide internet users. Wow... makes you feel kinda small eh?
I don't know about you, but whenever I see numbers like this about anything, I start to feel uneasy about the future. Just like the World Clock numbers at http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock.swf make me want to jump up and shout "STOP!", these internet numbers make me want to jump up and shout CTRL-ALT-DELETE!
How much bigger can this all get? Is it ever-expanding like the universe with no end in sight? When will enough be enough? I suppose the answer is in the above video... she's gonna keep growing & growing & growing. I wonder if this thirst for knowledge will become a part of human evolution just like our need for bacon, rollerskates & the companionship of a dog. I guess only time will tell, but it does seem this way.
Is this a good thing? Should we continue to visit the information health club exercising our brains on a daily basis to the extent that we do? With 81% of all emails sent being spam, are we quick & smart enough to only eat up the important information? Or are we actually feeding our brains with informational McDonalds and eating less & less healthy info (the cabbage of the internet so to say)? For you to ponder, decide, discuss as you so choose.
