With 2011 behind us, it's important to not only recognize what has been, but also what may come. Now, with increasingly powerful corporations and increasingly destructive legislation bearing down upon us, it is becoming a very real possibility that the Internet as we know it may cease to exist in 2012. I'd like to speculate a little bit, if it sparkles and pleases.
1. Progress is as Dumb as a Pipe
This may be the year Internet killed the T.V. star. Now, more than ever we can imagine a-la-carte television viewing. Some big content providers may be letting the reins loose

The Luxury of the Average Joe
by Chang Song October 20th, 2010 | Television
Nowadays, being an “Average Joe” in America isn’t so bad. I mean, you can get good wages, a nice car, a fabulous house; isn’t that what the American Dream is all about? Sure, that is not exactly what the American Founding Fathers had in mind. But the point is that the common folks have lives pretty nice now.
