Commerce, UFO’s and Disorder
by Andrew McCaskey
A Case of the Nerves
There have been a number of news items that I have not been forwarding on during SDRNews. One of the stories today concerned Astronauts and UFO’s. Several stories surrounding what I have begun to call the “Reset-Recession”. Filter out the NSFW items and the Top Ten lists, and most of the news items that are coming through the close to sixty feeds that I monitor have been on that fine line between Pop Culture and Trivia. Steve Wozniak announces as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. Conan explodes on Baron.
There is a lot of good content, of course – but there seems to be a trend to insert “News of the Weird” and get it elevated and voted up on sites that have that model. It’s probably a natural reaction to the continuous drumbeat of bad news that we’ve had, and will continue to pound us for the rest of 2009. The wheels of commerce may have ground to a halt, but with all those extra hours online there are a lot of people putting forth their best efforts to entertain, amuse and pass time.
I’m going to continue to filter most of it out – but it sure slows me down in the read and enjoy mode.
