Lately, the Internet has claimed many victories. When not bobbing his head to Grizzly Bear, Jay-Z personally handed out copies of his forthcoming masterpiece Blueprint 3 to combat piracy. The Internet won – it leaked last week. Yesterday, the BBC announced that you can now watch iPlayer through your Playstation, giving viewers yet another excuse to throw away their moribund TV ariels. Augmented Reality apps are soon to be launched, and the very fact that I’m writing this on the tube leads me to believe that the Hover Board I dreamt about riding as a child may not be that far from production.
However, the Internet is also built on pictures of nipples peaking from celebrity stage outfits, videos of dogs on skateboards, and crooks finding elaborate ways of selling you viagra and stealing your money. This is my contribution. A video of my friends doing a recurring hand gesture at the Reading Festival… place it where you will.
