Virial Theorem

I’m really bored today so I figured that I might as well post.

I’ve recently come to a shocking conclusion. Ready for it? The internet is boring. This attributes to my boredom, which is the reason I’m posting. So perhaps the internet being boring is not a bad thing after all.

I think I started getting bored of the internet when the whole Web 2.0 idea started (or became dominant). Social websites are completely lost on me. The basic level of interaction that had previously existed on the internet has now been taken to such an extreme level that it’s become overwhelming.

I originally tried to be a part of the social scene; but it’s just not happening. I joined last.fm, twitter, wakoopa, digg, and a whole bunch of sites that just didn’t stick. I no longer use last.fm, I do not interact in wakoopa and I do not bury or digg anything on digg.com. I’m just there for news. Twitter is the only service that I continue to use, but I only follow three people, all of whom I know in real life (two of whom never tweet).

Also, I don’t think a blog is a social website. The level of interaction is most blogs (Virial Theorem included), is the level that originally existed on the internet; a simple relationship between the author and the viewer.

I honestly can’t wait until Web 2.0 dies a quick, painful death.

And now you don’t.

I find it incredibly aggravating when I’m forced to sit through a presentation and all you’re doing is reading word for word from a presentation slide or from a piece of paper. Not only is the monotone shit insanely boring for me, it is also pathetically embarrassing for you. The least you can do is make the presentation semi-bearable. This is rather easily achieved by acting like a human being. You don’t read off a piece of paper when you’re having a conversation do you? It’s the exact same thing; you’re having a conversation with the class about a topic you fucking researched. It really isn’t that hard.
