though the principle of what his intentions are, is excellent... it just won't happen, the world is just too dependent on the internet in this day and age. and to shut down the internet would mean major chaos with every single business and person period.

From Scary Movie 4:

"He lost it, he just lost it."

Today the internet service is what makes a computer so valuable to have, without internet my computer would be shut down almost the entire day.

There was another article he admits to be a technophobe and "a Luddite", so his stance on the internet and music today is not surprising. In article, he blamed the decline on quality of music today on the internet. I agree with on the state of music today. But I think it has more to do with greed on the part of the record labels and less than the 'internet' and modern technology.

Whatever . . . internet isn't going shut down because Elton John hates and wants it shut down. He is welcome to his opinion as long as I can continue to ignore his rants about the "evil" internet.

If he doesn't like the internet, he shouldn't use it...but he shouldn't screw it up for the rest of us.

Alas, Sir Elton John has spoken. I guess I'll just go dig out my ink well and feather quill so I can communicate like they did during the musically creative time period of Mozart.

Heck, why not make him really happy and go back to doing hieroglyphs on papyrus??!! I think for local-long distance we could possibly use smoke signals!! No, wait, then we'd have Al Gore all up in our business screaming "Global Warming!!!" Only safe bet... cave paintings!!

Sounds like an oxymoronic newspaper headline:

ROCKET MAN TO SQUEALCH TECHNOLOGY!!!

Okay............ If Elton John hates the Internet, then don't use it.

Anyone who stands between me and the transmission of TCP/IP packets, is my adversary.

A local charity had a function and a silent auction. There's a company that gets celebrities autographs and sells them only through charity functions. I don't remember the name of the company. My sil won the silent auction and knew her brother really likes elton john. He was stunned when he opened it!
