<p>In <a href="2010-12-21-dailybooth.html">this previous post</a> I linked to <a href="http://www.gq.com/news-politics/big-issues/201012/viral-me-silicon-valley-social-networking-devin-friedman">an article that upset me</a>.</p>
<p>It tells a story about these incredibly smart kids that waste their time and
energy (and considerable amounts of brain, apparently) to build yet another
‘social’ things; Internet services that basically allow the user to shut their
minds, do fuck-all (apart from taking a picture maybe), and in return be
“famous” (in the Facebook sense).</p>
<p>Is this really the way the Internet is developing? Towards a weapon of brain annihilation?</p>
<p>For another view on why social network may turn out to be the silliest of all
Internet evolutionary branches, see also <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=long-live-the-web">Tim Berners-Lee’s article on Scientific American</a>.</p>
