MySpace is Tubes

I'm getting old, because I find myself agreeing almost completely with this article from the Guardian the other day.. "I'm looking at MySpace and I'm a fumbling old colonel struggling to comprehend his nephew's digital watch. Because I don't "get" it. I mean, I know what MySpace is and what it's supposed to do and how influential it is. It's just that whenever I've visited a MySpace page I've thought "is that it?" and wandered around the perimeter looking confused, like a blind man patting the walls for an exit he can't find... ..It's simply bloody-minded "olditude" on my part - the same sort of fusty grumbliness that made greying musos boycott CDs in favour of vinyl in the 80s because they JUST DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW about this new-fangled whatchamathing." full article And while I'm on the subject of old men understanding the internet, I know its been doing the rounds in the last few days, but Wired's reporting of that American Senators grasp of the internet is worth a mention. The internet is not a truck! It's a series of tubes!
