I was 16 when Championship Manager came out, and 17 when Championship Manager Italia 93 was launched.

How do you feel about utterly ruining my transition to adulthood? I've literally had one girlfriend.

It looks like we're heading towards information goo. Training sets come from what's available. Which is increasingly goo-like. Hyper weighted around the mode. Which is dictated by the need to capture the viewer, the 2 second attention span, and the way commercial operators quickly totally dominate the stream?

Isn't there a nightmare unfolding? Goo that's incredible the first time you encounter it. You can eat it, stick a postcard up with it. Use it in your car engine. It'll translate words into French.

But you then need a glue for a chair leg, and it's all wrong. Too soft, or too smelly. You can experiment with the goo for food, and learn you can make different tasting goo... but any food you cook to a recipe is on a different plane altogether. And your car prefers diesel, it's cheaper and easier to store.

Not to mention, the only way to get by in French, still turns out to be to live amongst French speakers for a while...

Isn't there a need to break the goo down into methods that are suitable for particular applications? Mega apps are dead before they begin. They're just google squared, and everyone can see how Google results are massively trend driven, feeding back into the market for suppliers of information... less informational and comprehensive than they used to be, many sites with the exact same information offering and editorial policy, but different CSS?
