Week 4

Does the dissemination of ,mechinisms of the internet and web, by opening publication to everyone, result in a flood of worthless drivel??

By open internet sourced platforming being available to everyone, it does put a sense of worthlessness to content being distributed. Because the net is so widely available, anyone, anywhere can be blogging or uploading any type of content they wish. With so much being processed all around the world, it causes clutter and muddles the internet with 'worthless drivel.' If you log onto Blogger, all you need to do is pass through all of the blogs that are published on the site to find this statement true. Whilst I was exploring the site myself reading numerous blogs, I found blogs about different sorts of toe nails, to Persian cats. This to me however is what makes the internet so unique. What could be marked as worthless drivel by one person, could be marked as something worth writing about to another. The diversity on the net also has some good attributes. It as spurred on various forthcoming culture trends. Often things that were deemed worthless drivel for long periods of time, get picked up over the years and turned into something interesting. It is worthless drivel that often turns viral on the net.
