|
I was at a meeting yesterday where the speaker said that over 87% of all
traffic today are coming from one of 4 content providers, Amazon,
Google, MS and Facebook. And that reminded me that I think the internet
is close to dead.
This is what I've noticed, the problem starts with the search engines.
They have become a fixed game now. Usenet is not covered effectively,
nor is access readily available. We are left with Stackover flow.
Blogs are not being covered very well. Home Pages and personal
libraries are not in search results. Mailing lists are virtually not
listed. Usage for serious information has dropped like a rock. Serious
Journals are now all behind DRM inforced paywalls. The library of the
future is already shacked and destroyed. Its best days are behind us
and the ease of getting information is virtually dead.
