The Internets
Dear Esteemed members,
Having spent an incredible amount of time trying to do pretty ordinary things on the 'Internets', I finally got enraged as to how far it has devolved into a mad-house of irresponsible pretty much, nothingness, where whatever you try to do is infected by the
ignorati who believe they own us.
Indeed they do, if we let them.
For example, it seems that every site I now might visit for some perfectly innocuous reason is inundated by 'cookies'. I have to accept them (without a means to say 'no'). Now I am not an 'American' and 'cookies' are to me, some sort of non-food so far as I am concerned and that is some sort of 'biscuit' as we might have in other locations. I rarely eat them but can certainly live without them, especially when I have no choice but to accept them.
Anyway, I put something (not so pleasant) into the dreaded Google engine and came up with this long article. In no way can I paraphrase it, you will have to read it as much as you want.
It does appear to address a great many of the issues on this forum, (one way or another) and does mention the likes of the entity Sugar Mountain (Zuckerberg) but that may only be the apologists for his creation who want to remain anonymous and 'spill some beans' so to speak.
'nough said and yours for the reading...evaluations (on the article) welcome...

Be well.
