Debunking Internet Myths
from the the-internet-really-is-cool dept
Remember when debunking internet myths meant explaining why the internet wasn't really as cool as all the hype-meisters made it out to be? Well, now it's going the other way. In this article debunking 10 internet myths they're mostly explaining why the collapse of the internet doesn't mean that it's useless. Of course, the "debunking" method seems to be "this guy says so" rather than any hard evidence. I tend to agree with most of the statements, but a little more support would have been nice.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
