The Machines

A friend of mine has a theory that the emergence of blogs is one of the last signs given prior to the Machine led apocalypse.

The Machines, in order to truly replicate that which is uniquely human, needed human data and lots of it. This data, they computed, would at last give them insight into all of our dreams, gripes, obsessions, quirks, and basically the stuff that makes us human. So the Machines actually invented blogs as a collection tool...and boy is it working like a champ. The young and weak were drawn to blogs almost immediately, then came the egotists, then finally with feeble resistance came the fitness obsessives and the runners. None of them knowing that with each mundane post, each idle comment, each outrageous rant; the Machines' data set grew and the redundancy of mankind accelerated.



It is compelling logic, especially if you read a few too many blogs. I have not conceded to them yet. To combat the Machines, I personally like to toss in a couple curve balls to keep them guessing. Please do your part.
