Now, after having some years experience with the Internet in it's past and the current formation of it, I'm beginning to wonder if the "Internet" as it is these days, is actually going forward or is it just sitting there "navel-gazing" at itself.

We now have the Face-books, YouTubes and a variety of other things on the Net to do, but in all serious-ness, are things starting to stagnate?

Sure, I have found that doing a Google search is pretty much useless these days, unless you are looking to buy something directly involved with your search.

I ask the question, has the Internet lost where it's come from?
It was never meant to be about sales, it was supposed to be about dissemination of information.

As for Face-book and other places like that, each person to their own, if you want to put your own personal details in a place like that, expect it to be like a second resume', the same with YouTube.

Get caught doing dumb things or embarrasing yourself (or your prospective employer), count yourself out of that next job, because they will find these things.

Your opinion folks? cool
