New Additions to my Dislike List: Andrew Keen and Doris Lessing

The only reason I use the word "dislike" rather than "hate" is because hate just seems too harsh, and I want to save that word for someone even more ignorant and elitist than these two fools (you have to pick and choose your battles- right?)

"Blah blah blah" was all I got from Andrew Keen's article about incredible (as in not-credible) amateurs using the internet to voice their opinions. Keen, who seems to have some twisted Napoleon Complex (yeah, I went there), fears the internet, its power, and more importantly, the power that the internet takes away from people like him. Does it scare you that I no longer have to look to pompous smarty pants like you for answers?

Now I cn jst Wiki frm my Blkberry!

Does that bother you, little man? I don't need your snuffy Professor friends or a print version of the Wall Street Journal (which I do read..every single day). I can read my newspaper just fine..from my Kindle!

What about you, Miz NoBeL PrIzE WiNnEr? Think the internet makes us dumb? How does it make you feel that I just reduced you to a Wiki Article?

I attribute the lack of appreciation for the internet and all of the wonderful things it has done to a general ignorance and fear of change.

Can I have my Nobel Prize now? K thnx.
