Why I Hate... Digital Britain

The pre-assumption that digitalisation in itself is any improvement on our current 'archaic' systems of communications is baffling. Picture this: your Nan. Yeah Nanny, or Grandma if you're a southern prick. She doesn't give a shit about watching continuous episodes of 'Friends', she lost all interest in being 'poked' decades ago and the thought of seeing Bruce Forsyth in HD is about as pleasant as the Grimm Reaper fondling the dusty old crevice that was once known as her vagina. I'm not one to sit back and let technology leave me behind, but not everyone is a narcissistic media whore like myself. But this isn't about technological innovation, no it's about diverting our consciousness away from quality and towards quantity. Sitting in the middle of the worst economic crisis since 'she who will not be named', and they're plowing millions of pounds into this twat.

Giving OAP's extra menus to get confused by, and 40 channels that they'll never watch. If they wanted digital television they would have got a freeview box years ago. Oh sorry, Taggart is on ITV4 fourteen times a day, excellent. Why turn off all the analogue systems, why not give people the opportunity to choose. Not live out this totalitarian dream, complete with a gay robot Stalin. I knew that we weren't living in a democracy, but I did once believe in a free press.
