Why I'm keeping my day job
.... because in our never ending greed to make a fast buck, we are destroying the internet (web site by web site). Technology has allowed us to invade the privacy of others in ways that turn my stomach.
Spam has almost completely ruined the email system. I just had to abandoned another account because of all the goddamn spam.
Talking 'porn' banners have caused many surfers (and some webmasters) to surf without sound.
Popup console hells and annoying browser crashing flash advertisements have made it impossible to surf with java and flash turned on.
Viruses and spyware have taken over our computers and made it impossible to surf without constantly having to install the latest versions of software designed to combat these problems.
I have personally known people who have sold their computers and will not buy new ones because of all this shit. We keep saying that more and more people come to the internet every month. What we don't say, however, is that more and more people are leaving the internet every month too.
Like anything else that has ever been promising in our modern world, the internet will inevitable be destroyed by greedy, money grubbing assholes out to make a quick buck without any concern whatsoever for the future. I am keeping my day job because I want something to go back to when it all collapses.
