"The Internet is boring"

I go through cycles where I'm so sick of browsing that I type "The Internet is boring" into a search engine just to see what comes up to prove me wrong ... I spent the next hour reading this: The Edge Annual Question. A deeper person than I might have spent days or months pondering this question and the collection of answers. But for me, the Internet can go back to being boring, now. (Of course, one may ask, if it is so boring, why not just stop using it? Well, what else is there to do?)

what i find amusing is that i typed in the same search *the internet is boring* for that excat reason, but what i find more shockingly true is the question what else is there to do lol...

have a good one.

Yeah, i too found this page by that same search... Looks like this blog is becoming ground zero for those who think we've seen all this old and busted internet has to offer.

funny, i too arrived here via that same search. How bored I must have been to actually type in "the internet is boring" into a browser. it really is boring. its only just functional now; pay bills, find facts. not much in way of entertainment anymore. there are only so many idiotic blogs and frantic political rants one can read before its out of your system. now its just really really boring. But like you say, what else is there to do? go back to television? ;)

Yep. I'm another person who got here by searching The internet is boring on google. I find that every now and then something come along that brightens things up a bit (YouTube), but after a while it just gets boring again.

I’m flabbergasted that so many of us are out there thinking the same thing. Doing the exact same thing. Typing the same comment in search of something, and all simultaneously. Yet, with all this synchronicity, people still find it more interesting to sit in front of an inanimate object pointing and clicking their life away, instead of going out and meeting people and having real conversations about their commonalities. Very weird.

thanx

Haha Funny thing, that. I typed in 'the internet is boring me' and this site pulled up. Dude, you should so be making money off advertising here.

Actually, I was thinking about why people are so fascinated with TV/Computers, and was somehow comparing them with early man's first experience with seeing his reflection over the water....then the creation of mirrors....and then...behold: The Boob Tube. We're staring at our own reflections.

i got so bored of internet i too typed in the internet sucks. it must be cause once u do everything u dont know what to do next, so u type in something to see what comes up which all of us have done. but we wonder why one minute it is the coolest thing in the world but the next it sucks. but the greater question is what is there to do. most people dont know i am one of them. once u get so into the internet u type in just about eveything then u have absolutely nothing to do at all on it. then u cant think of what to do noext so we just sit there. from now on i hope the internet stops sucking and gets better with more things to do. and i am serious right now i am so bored i have nothing to do except type in the internet sucks and just keep writing crap about how bad the internet sucks.

so i was reading through some comments here i got here the smae way by typing the internet is boring and someone said why do we like computers and tv's so much in answer it is because humans are so intelligent (some of them anyway only joking ) that tv is intresting by giving us something new and entertaining to do also we like it because humans like to observe and watch (like animals) other life forms

At 1:39 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

Well, here I am bored out of my mind. I came here through the same google search. I've been to complaint websites, porn, evil, self-help, job searches, and politicals. I've also been to the very end of the internet too. In summary, I've ignored the last 10 years of my life just to end up wasted. I'm long overdue to sober up and go back to real life. Now it's all gone and I'm so bored and alone I realize I need to live and make up for lost time. Humans were not born just to sit their life away in front of an inanimate box, when there is so much more we could be doing to make the world a better place to live in. I want to try to be a better person, I really do.

We are soooooo bored! We are so bored! Writing this is fun! That is how bored we are!I can't read long things!!!! We are bored! We are bored!We are bored!We are bored!We are bored!We are bored!We are bored!We are bored! Smelly people stink coz they're bored!!!We are bored! We are bored!We are bored!You are sad coz you are reading this believe it gives you something to do this is fun!!! We are going crazzy! The element of fun is shown in the exclaimation mark after every phrase or sentence!!! Sometimes one or three but never two tell me why!!! It didn't take me long to write this coz my hands are supersonic and have a mind of their own I call her Cat!!! She is my friend she has hands!!! (Unless you are stupid you would have noticed that Cat is a real person and i treat her as a slave!!! She is a homo sapien!!! She is evolved are you? take this test to find out:
1. If you see a Banana do you:
a)eat it
b)smash it against the wall
2. If you find hair in your ear, what do you do:
a)cut it off
b)Put it in your pencil case
3. Do you think you are evolved?
a)yes, I'm just going off to read my foundlands Dictionary
b)Ohh Ohh Ahh Ahh Ugga
RESULTS
If you got mostly a you aren't evolved.
If you got mostly B you are a banana.
But the fact that you have sat down and got soo bored you typed in *the internet is boring* is quite sad and creepy fact about yourself that you will have to live with for the rest of your long boring life.

I wont even explain how I got here, you can guess pretty easily.

Every one of us should have a website, and they should all be linked together with pointless images and bogus personal philosophies, then we could waste aeons browsing each others' stuff, and even give awards to one another, completely alienating the rest of the Internet from our lives.

I suggest free webspace that is supported by advertising, and we should make lots of fake ads that look just like the sponsored ads, only for horrifying things that don't exist, that link to each others' sites.

What else do we have to do?

How ironic, I found this blog from typing the same exact thing. I feel like I've seen everything this "endless" source of data has to offer. I've probably spent 4 years doing nothing but sitting on my butt and searching it. Nothing really interests me anymore, not even MMORPGs (which used to make the net grand again). I feel like going outside and doing things...but its just like you said...."what else is there to do [in this shitty ass little town]"
