REAL information on the internet
Okay, my inner cynic is taking over. He is the only one with any energy left today...
this is something that didnt matter years ago, but does now. When i was single and always bored, the internet existed for 2 reasons (to me):
Video Games and pornography.
These days, i dont bother with porn, and although i play video games, im not out hunting for mods or patches any more than once every month or two. Plus, now i own a website.
Now, for my articles, i try to get the most accurate, up-to-date, correct info that i can. The problem is, there are 1 or 2 actual stores or real information on any given subject on the net, the rest is useless bullshit, incorrect information, websites with 1 picture and no info, or porn sites that have added every word in the dictionary to their page in orsder to increase hits. The result?
Well, oustide of pissing me off, it is also exceedingly difficult to use the internet as an information source, which, if i remember correctly, is it's actual purpose for being in existance.
anyone else experience this? Hours and hours of clicking links to get 3 sentances of information?
I mean for gods sake, search engines ar edamn near useless. try searching on "insects that spray", referring to several types of ant and stick insect that have chemical defenses that they spray at attackers. i never knew there were so many brands of bug spray out there, or so many site son how to use them (which isnt really nevessary. they print instructions on the bottle. And if you have to read them AS you use it, then you should not be handling hazardous chemicals.)
