Enough! The Briton who is challenging the web’s endless cacophony

Michelangelo & God My response to the “Titled” article published in the UK Guardian:

Perhaps we’ll all end up being professional bloggers, podcasters, YouTube producers etc. simply because that may well be the next natural stage in the evolution of human kind on Earth 2.0(the internet). Does this sound far fetched because it’s never been that way?

Surely, that thought must scare the crap out of elitist Luddites and parochial thinking intellectuals not used to sharing, or those who would just love to keep the conventional status quo in place forever.

So what if 499 million blogs are meaningless!..At least they have a chance of ubiquitous expression and web users have access to diversity in terms of perspectives, albeit amateur perspectives. I mean, why would the internet as a new form of democratization be more dis-concerting to luddites, than the miserable plight of 3 to 4 billion poverty stricken individuals living here on earth 1.0.

A fair juxtaposition in terms of numbers, considering we’ve had at least 2000 years to develop an equitable balance in the nature and order of things. Furthermore, so much for equitable egalitarianism and academic excellence over the last 500 years since the discovery of the printing press…bravo!

Problem is, our achievements up until the introduction of web 1.0 were just not far reaching enough.

Just think for a moment, if there ever was a divine creator, he’d be ambivalent at best at what intellectual luddites celebrate as great human achievements over the last few century’s and want to radically change the eco-system.

This time however, perhaps the divine creator may want to breath life into millions of Freud’s, Michelangelo’s, Einstein’s, eminent writers, journalists and so on all at the same time, because his new system allows it.

The only difference is this time, they will have to debate or display their ideas and thoughts no matter how provocative or narcissist…publicly! In fact, there will be more room for criticism this time round, as social networking and business networking gradually improves and evolves to put everything in check.

Initially, most participants will be amateurs but ultimately hone their skills to communicate just like professionals as we have them in today’s conventional media space.

In this new online eco-system, it may well be, that the divine creator has long term goals to gradually evolve Davids and eventually eliminate all Goliaths… hence a fairer Earth 2.0!robert_timmi_55.jpg

    Great post. Congratulations Robert.
    I am not sure what God wants, but the exchanging of information with people all over the world, and the breaking of the barriers between the elites and populace, don’t seem too bad a thing to me…
    In too many circles of human “expertise” there are far too many people who have been living out of past glories, charging exorbitant fees, and hoarding their knowledge away not to lose power.
    That’s unacceptable, no matter how many subpay blogs we have to go through to get to the truth of things.
