Movies and Books about distopia that assume the future becomes this really emotionally  monotonous place ruled by greed and disgust, power and violence, and opression predict an unrealistic future.  I think these books and movies have scared us a lot, and you know, maybe that was for a very good reason.  Who knows.  I am sure the authors had their concerns.   But my point is, the internet and implicatively the future is inherrently a dynamic place, as in it is anything but an emotionally monotnous place.  Does it make sense to just keep uploading the same data from one place to another never having anything new generated in terms of thoughts ideas, and actions?  How monotonous would that be!  It only makes sense to diversify and grow on this scale, otherwise the internet would have no purpose.   These visions of monotony found in lots of our culture's stories don't seem to be totally right in saying the future is going to turn into grey goo, no pun intended here with the other distopias about nanobots taking over all carbon lifeforms.   They were just kinda afraid of TV and radio, and that there was only one way interaction pefect for brainwashing people.  But the  new forms of media we have today are two way, so...It will it be harder now for people to brainwash us if they wanted?  Problably.  Could it be easier?  Some advertisers pay people to have fake conversations about their products on certain Blogs and what not.  Is that kinda like false advertising?  In a commericial we know they are just actors.  That is obvious.  But since the internet is so anonymous, we wouldn't no they are just "Blog Actors" performing on the stage.  Shouldn't this be considered kinda wrong for businesses to do?  Know what I mean?
