Wake Up & Smell the Roses

[diyer]

The internet is too saturated with websites of the same ole crap but wrapped in a different pretty bow. Same old bs, bright eyed noob going to strike it rich on the web only to learn it's impossible. It's all been done to death over and over and over again to the point of nausea. GAME OVER!

There is a story that the director of the patent office in 1899 thought it should be closed because "everything that can be invented has been invented." Whether or not it's true, the corollary certainly holds up. Just because you can't think of something new to do on the internet doesn't mean that nobody else can. Some of the biggest sites have only been around a couple of years and were a success because they created a need that didn't exist before them. The internet is still new technology and there is a lot of things coming in the future. It's the people with imagination that are going to drive it to expand, not the ones that only follow.
