This post by Jeff is about the shortcomings of the Internet. He cites most of the common “issues” people have with the Internet, like “There’s junk on the Internet, anyone can say anything, there are inaccuracies on the net, people are rude and blogger’s aren’t journalists”.

For the most part, he agrees. ”True. There’s junk everywhere, True. But the web enables us to correct our mistakes.” etc. What sticks with me though is that he agrees with the general pubic, but as an obvious “believer” in the Internet he cites that there’s is junk everywhere, even “on book shelves” and that newspapers print mistakes as well and everyone knows they are not always 100% accurate, far from it! But the most remarkable thing for me is, i agree with him…as one can see i am very sceptical about the net and its many many pages of junk. But as Jeff Jarvis says “The Internet is life. Life is messy. Get used to it.” and i think i am getting used to it, much to my displeasure.
