MySpace the end of the internet

Is MySpace the end of the internet? With so much weight being applied to your friends list’s and amount of friends you have and so many people using it to get their own “web page” is it killing the internet? So many people and bands and business that would have originally gone and designed their own pages now just shift over and start a MySpace page. I think it’s killing the internet the idea of creativity and the time and knowledge it takes to design a page well or even a simple page for you and your friends to go to instead now all we have is the same page over and over and over again for someone to throw ad’s up in the comment box. I did a redesign at http://www.wickedme.com and spent a lot of time and effort on it though the MySpace generation barely cares. Whatever happened to good old fashion art? The question was raised before when album covers became c.d. cover’s which now have become digital download covers. Though in the later case the art is actually bigger and better than before. What is happening to the time when people were creative? Were people would just create to create for the art of creation. I know some don’t think of the web as art but it takes a lot of time to find the right color’s and back grounds and run up a flash intro and things of that nature and if done right it can be very beautiful to look at. Is this the way everything is going low risk high reward? And if so what will become of the artist’s of today and tomorrow? The music industry is suffering but is it because of the internet and stolen songs or just that there aren’t enough musicians being heard? While MySpace claim’s to help promote those bands in all reality only the musicians search out the new music and then they don’t get to see a full and complete representation of the band only music light. What happened to the days were we immersed ourselves in the art of the day? The times were we would follow bands around or follow a product to its end. The internet should have given us a new level of access and originally it did but now it’s going the other way and it’s all about my buddy list. I miss the old days and had hopes for the new days but now feel we are moving in a creativity killing vacuum were nothing will be left. What is life without art? Where is the next phase of love and loyalty and not only our hopes, dreams and sorrow’s but the songs to bring us back to them? The first hearts break the first kiss the first fuck these are the sounds and art of our lives. I not only knew the songs but new everything about the band and why who sang them and I was loyal. Take those times and throw them into today and we could see so much more and love so much more Than we do today. The Authors of tomorrow are now blog writer’s for the instant “MySpace” gratification. Where has the art gone While I say that as I write this don’t think it’s the same I still work on websites and design of those along with music and other forms of art. The digital medium should have opened door’s instead I feel it has started to close them.
