Elton John has said the internet is killing creativity and should be shut down.

He believes that the technology was stopping people going out and interacting with other artists, as well as making the general population too passive.

?Hopefully the next movement in music will tear down the internet," he told The Sun in an interview.

?Let?s get out in the streets and march and protest instead of sitting at home and blogging. I do think it would be an incredible experiment to shut down the whole internet for five years and see what sort of art is produced over that span."

linky

Just spotted this as trolling round teh nets. Sif shutdown the internet.

Post 24

He's an IT illiterate, he thinks it's one computer and a bunch of access providers. I guess he figures we'll just throw the switch? ;)

Let him waste his millions on coming up with an idea, imo.
Then laugh when he's selling his body as the sailors come in, to make a living.

Post 27

before the sailors get there, the entire web dev community will be sending him bills for loss of revenue - see how that works out for him - ****er why dont we do away with singers instead? they stifle the crack industry by not allowing it to get to the masses, and Elton is CLEARLY at the head of that problem.

How?

If you want to shut the internet down, all you have to do is set the mice free, or sabotage the treadmills. Easy.
