Forum rules
1) Remain civil. Respect others' rights to their viewpoints, even if you believe them to be completely wrong.
2) Sourcing your information is highly recommended. Plagiarism will get you banned.
3) Please create a new thread for a new topic, even if you think it might not get a lot of responses. Do not create mega-threads.
4) If you think the subject of a thread is not important enough to merit a post, simply avoid posting in it. If enough people agree, it will fall off the page soon enough.

While Google may hold the answers I seek, I rather enjoy human interaction with my inqueries now and then.
What if Google just up and died? What would happen?
I love this thing.

Did you imagine the final sound as a gun? Or the shattered windows of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

Imagine if, after a few generations hence when everyone relies on the internet for quick and easy knowledge, the internet goes kaput.
Someone should write a movie about that. It's such a stupid concept for a move that they'd have to make it. Kind of like "A Day Without a Mexican".
I love this thing.

That's stupid, because in a few generations, when everyone relies on it, there will be measures to ensure it doesn't go kaput.

Thanks, YiffMaster. What do you think about Star Wars as a political message?

I don't tend to think of movies as being 'political' unless they were politically motivated, such as Michael Moore's 'documentary' Fahrenheit 9/11.
