Jeremy Clarkson on the Internets

And it's not just the media that are under threat. Why go to a doctor when there's NHS Direct? Why have sex when there's always some bird in Latvia who's happy to get her knickers off? Why buy an encyclopedia when there's Wikipedia (apart from the fact that everything on Wikipedia is wrong)? Why go to Tesco when you can shop online? Estate agents. Property developers. Motorcycle dispatch riders. They've all had it.

The only people I can think of who won't lose their jobs to the internet are those who empty cesspits. And nobody seems to have spotted this.

One day, of course, they will. The world will wake up and realise it's unemployed; that we've all been terminated by machines. And please don't try to argue that men will always triumph over machinery because we can always turn it off. Because that's the thing with the Internet. You can't.

Jeremy Clarkson in The end is nigh, see it on YouTube (For Crying Out Loud! - The World According to Clarkson vol. 3)
