If information were food we would all be lining up at the troff. But I believe there is a cut off point in which population will reach enough, if not just stop with the information feed train altogether.
I would be careful to consider into the equation the possibility of this information age to just simply fall back into its proper place of use as people begin to miss their privacy of mind and life. It all will fall into the gauntlet of entertainment once again, because of the laborious consumption and distraction from more important things such as life.
Infatuation is what drives humans on as curiosity motivates us to the conquest of understanding. This never-ending thirst or maybe even lust for more, once satisfied leads us to purvey what next appeals to our watchful eye.
Popularity is here but a moment and then is gone, and with Blogging it has been a fresh opportunity for so many to get into the playing field once reserved for the few, say the media. As time goes on the newness will wear off and once again only those who have got the money for their run will continue.
What I do hope is that this medium remains open to the population so that the individual when so desired has a voice of their opinion, maintaining our precious freedom of speech. For this reason I have hope.
