I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by Google

I just found this cool essay on del.icio.us   Apparently it is written by a teenager in 2026.

Here is an little chunk of it for your preview.

"it's that all our social relations have been reified with a clunky intensity. They're digitized! And the networking hardware and software that pervasively surround us are built and owned by evil, old, rich corporate people! Social-networking systems aren't teenagers! These machines are METHODICALLY KILLING OUR SOULS! If you don't count wall-graffiti (good old spray paint), we have no means to spontaneously express ourselves. We can't "find ourselves" - the market's already found us and filled us with map pins."
