I saw 2012 one time in that video and that was at the start. The people making these videos are just sad. 2012 is the next big end of the world thing and they are putting it on everything to freak people out. The world is ran by the internet now pretty much and will continue to until the next big tech. discovery.

All I am saying is that everyone is going on about 2012 like they want to experience something, but the video I think has a point if our freedoms keep get margined. is this how far it will get? China won't allow google as we know it in the West, countries are blocking each other out, it's not like the Internet is free for everyone anymore.

I even changed the title, sorry if it sounds misleading.

I've looked at the video page on youtube and it is one of those hypothetical videos. I didn't mean to come across rude I am just sick of 2012 being labeled on anything and everything. Anything that people fear people place 2012 on it. I am honestly waiting till I see a video/post that says "In 2012 the spiders come from the earth core to take over the world" to freak out people scared of spiders.


On topic of the internet thing, again I don't see it being shut down or every site unaccessible. I can see certain sites that can cause violence like hate sites being shut down more, but not 99.9% of the sites we goto today. If anything like that were to happen we would see 1000x the reaction we do to net neutrality.

It's fictional writing and nothing major, but what if lets say we get censored for being anti-Islamic rule and our freedom of speech is compromised and silly riots happen and all this BS over cartoons. In the end I guess only the West will have Internet freedoms because it looks like the rest of the world is shutting it's doors on us.

The Internet is a fad, like Vaudeville, or television. In a hundred years or so, maybe more, clever technicians will have figured out a way to pump images directly into your brain in full surround sound, 3-D, and with all the associated sensory input intact and better than in real life. At that point, we will either choose to exist in the outside reality, or live our lives in virtual worlds, only coming out once in a while to take care of our physical bodies. Good-bye space program, since real planets are going to seem pretty boring compared to the fantastic adventures in virtual reality. We're always trying to change the world to our own purposes, whether through drugs or industry. Eventually we'll be able to have complete control. It'll probably mean the end of us.

So long, Internet!

How bad will things have to be before lets say ATS and conspiracy websites get closed off? The only other situation would be world war, but you need to have a 50/50 oppositions to fight each other to get that far.
They can not do too much with extreamists on the internet anyway, it has not caused it to shut us all down. But lets say prophecy looms in Biblical proportions it could effect our actions on what we think. But I guess a future that extreme will involve a lot more than just the internet freedom of speech.

if the internet went to the crapper, us geeks would just build a new one. =)

the thing you should be more worried about is "filling up" the internet. the current form of IP addressing is a real problem that will need to be dealt with very soon. we only have about 4 billion addresses to use for the whole world. we mitigate that some by having subnets (whole ranges of addresses that appear as one address to the rest of the world), but we're still nearing our limit. the long-term solution is a new addressing scheme which doesn't have a widespread infrastructure yet.

Then again I guess the internet will not close it may end up as our spy against us if some Evil powered being decided to use our knowledge against us. Example RFID chips and tracking devices and all sorts of survalliance to watch us. The internet probably would not close down but be used to control us maybe.

Stage6 a major uploading site has just closed down or as people have put it hacked or something. Stage 6 consists of a lot of cult based videos and has a wide range of conspiracy videos to download. Has Stage 6 website closed in your part of the world or is it just us?

This youtube video is no conspiracy connection to anything it's just a vision of what could happen in the future.

Do not fear. There will ALWAYS be an underground... La Resistance! ‡
