    Elton John: "Shut down the internet!"

    Elton John wants the internet shut down for 5 years. He thinks it would be a "good experiment".
    What do you say?

      What a moron. Yeah, lets just end tens of thousands of jobs to see what kind of art can be created. Big business is killing art/music, not the internet.

          I suggest shutting down Elton John. Now THAT would be a great experiment and a service to mankind as well!

                                      I agree with him in that people, generally, need to be more active.

                                      But I'm guessing this whole thing's just a publicity stunt.

                                                      The internet is just a fad anyways; so are computers.

                                                      This whole "internet/computer" thingy will be over in a few years anyway.

                                                                                      I think the line is drawn because T.V. wasn't as interactive or useful - and therefore, not as time-consuming as the internet currently is.

                                                                                      I mean, I know people who spend 100+ hours a week on their computers... I'm sure we all do, if we're not one of those people ourselves.

                                                                                      The scale of lethargy is a lot more pronounced with computers than it ever was with T.V., I think.

                                                                                      There are entire cultures where it's not unheard of for people to spend nearly every waking moment in front of their computer monitor.

                                                                                      I'm fine with it - I mean, everyone's the captain of their own lives - and, hell, we'll figure out a way to turn a buck off of them all, but - on a large scale - there is an issue there, I think. And while "banning the internet," is obviously not the solution.... maybe EJ's just trying to raise awareness, while generating a little publicity for himself?

                                                                                                                      I mean, I know people who spend 100+ hours a week on their computers... I'm sure we all do, if we're not one of those people ourselves.

                                                                                                                      The scale of lethargy is a lot more pronounced with computers than it ever was with T.V., I think.

Now I rarely watch anything on TV. I watch less TV in a year now than I used to do in a month before the internet.

                                                                                                                                                          I wonder why he thinks his art is better than other people's art.

                                                                                                                                                          what an ignorant statement.

                                                                                                                                                              If that's your idea of "being an ass," I'm not sure how you'd characterize your own behavior... the "B.S." remark aside, your last post was kinda off the hook.

                                                                                                                                                              And that leads me to believe that you have issues outside the scope of this conversation working against you, so I'll just leave you to figuring them out... the objective of making my point with you here has lost its luster.
