It’s amazing how things change… In 2001, the world was hip ‘n’ dandy over Osama Bin Laden, the Taliban, The World Trade Center attack, Nostradamus (think end of the world style death and destruction), Anthrax and dare I say it, perhaps most horrifically of all, Windows XP! Six years on, the general public is more concerned over the iPhone’s well-being, Webkinz (the fluffy animal that’s been gutted out and kitted with a sub-par Fisherprice processor), TMZ (celebrity scandals), Transformers (geek domination or movie obsession?), YouTube (go online video!), Club Penguin (don’t ask), MySpace (icky/buggy social network full of glittery puff dolls), Heroes (I’m thinking movie/TV/video obsession), Facebook (the good social network we all need to use) and finally Anna Nicole Smith.

What will be thought of us, in 100 years time? In the space of half-a-decade, we’ve gone from paranoid, terrorist obsessed, war-mongering Googlers (if I can use that term, not working at Google myself) into a nation of fluffy-animal-celebrity-social-sex-video lovers. Some of us anyway. O_o This is a time when I’m proud to be different. Seriously - Club Penguin just cramps my style. Being aimed at “6-14 year olds”, even I, with absolutely no life outside my computer, clearly realise that this is SAD.

You gotta love Google and the crazy stats that a trillion searches a second result in.

And Engadget? No need to source us at TechZi or anything - not like we reported the news FOUR days before you or anything. Seriously. I mean, sheesh…

THIS article was via Gizmodo. We have the decency to source. Not that Engadget don’t or anything. Nah… Not at all. Sheesh, I mean… Ah. You know. There’s always the possibility they found it themselves. Especially when no-one else had blogged it apart from… Oh, geez. Just shut up David and get back to writing Affiliate Defined. Then you can go ‘n’ buy Engadget, that tiny little geeky site who pales in comparison to the l3t uber TechZi.
