Slouching Towards Oblivion

Neil's Prophesy

Write it down.

2026 is the year the internet dies.

As legacy media fades in the distance of the receding past, people who now denounce "mainstream news" as fake or untrustworthy, will come to know that their favorite fringe sites, and their "alternative" news is what's actually fake. But instead of changing their minds and either moving to resurrect the old ways, or searching out credible new sources of information, they'll just dismiss it all as totally unreliable - and the entire internet will implode, grinding The Information Age to a halt.

Seems a bit silly, but hey - ya heard it hear first, kids.



I'm posting this now, and then I'll copy it and set it to publish some time in 2026 too.

We'll see.
