Don't know anything about Gawker, don't wanna know. But remember when the internet was gonna save us all?
"I hate to be hyperbolic, but want to understand ISIS or the Tea Party or Occupy or Charleston or Dylan?" Arkin wrote in the email. "Look no further than Gawker and its ilk, which means look no further than twitter or your own so-called smartphone: We are making the world a miserable place. I’m glad I can withdraw and think about it."
Yeah. I think the best that can be said is that we seem determined to reinvent the wheel, over and over and over again. Except there were benefits to the wheel.
Must have something to do with never, EVER learning from history. Or a strangely modern obsession with being sure nobody could get it right until "we" came along.
Maybe we should all withdraw and think about it.
