Internet 10 years later ...
Theodore woke up to horror early. Gently vibrated implanted behind the ear reminder, holding his ever online: psychological and physiological condition of Theo was always available to his employer, kibervrachu, as well as the automation of its "smart" home. The day before he asked the algorithm to their individual SS (server status), compact stores the entire information about the life of the ward from its birth until the time of delivery of flash memory in the archive. Now the algorithm by analyzing all incoming signals from the production server Theodore, worked, waking him in the morning, half past four.
Waking up ..., Theodore somehow remembered how to dramatically change the fate of a small site on the planet (I think his name was VK), after the Government of the United Earth has introduced a mandatory connection to the server status of each newborn citizen. Now, without this connection the person does not have the status of citizen, and work, housing and medical care was available only to citizens and only citizens have a sacred and inalienable right to continual monitoring of their health and mental state through a single network connected to the "reminder". Only the Celestial Empire, Africa, and spitting on the traditionally questionable corporate values and the Bushmen are the Gypsies did not enjoy the benefits of civilization, not really worrying about it. A Guide Facebook, Twitter, and even a couple of social networks, among which came, and VK became part of the notorious Ministry of Truth, who knows all the ins and outs of every citizen ...
Wait until Theodore swim out of the sleep reminder unfolded before his eyes open yet commercial recording of the reasons for waking up: in the module context search for the video channel IN (InstantNews), where he worked for Theodore, there was the expected evolutionary mistake. News beacons were not detected in their categories, and much deeper into the space available. Roughly speaking, they were not visible on the main thematic channels.
News ... that are broadcast to billions of web cameras, both private and public, sorted and assessed the audience (with reminders, record the degree of interestingness news for each viewer), as well as thousands of moderators, editors. Once the video has fallen sharply, the era of Internet video, and few remembered the distant time when the Internet has read. Search Engine Corp. INI (Instantnews Inc), which controlled all the news video bandwidth of the planet already knew how to sort news by category, even without a text description. The lion's share of this magical ability to provide anything not realize the audience, broadcasting through their servers reminders IN your opinion ...
Answering the wake-up algorithm, lights came on in the bathroom, the kitchen rumbled processor, kettle whistled. After washing, Theodore found in the kitchen hot oatmeal and boiled ... cucumber. Surprised, but meekly ate my breakfast: reminder, 6 times a day, broadcast in the kitchen of the host blood, its menu and level of satisfaction after eating, could not be mistaken.
During breakfast, Theodore had the news on the kitchen view the monitor in an attempt to assess the scale of the accident. As he expected, the main stream of news on all channels, from politics to children's channel was fairly predictable.
However, his attempt to click on the figure of the mayor, Mr. Richard Konsky, speaking before Congress housewives, Theodore nearly choked on a cucumber: instead of Context Search which reveals in detail the many aspects of speech horse, he received the first children's recording of Richard, and then suddenly with a splash galloping horses soon got into the store on the couch - the only transmission, not a bit changed in the last 70 years.
"You may also be interested in!" Blinked in the corner of the red sign of consciousness. Theodore drew attention to it, and the words turned to full screen, showing his face with his mother, with surprise considering his son's picture, frozen over ... cooked cucumber. "- So, while it fell from the overall network? And where, in fact, come from? "- For the umpteenth time today and was surprised Theodore, without a moment's hesitation, ran to the workplace. Fortunately it was in an adjoining room - the office, sometimes at the behest of his master the combined with a bedroom, a training room and dining room.
There is, besides a detailed error log of the production server IN waiting for him a couple of dozen messages from long lost classmates, a lively discussion ... his photo with cooked cucumbers. Yes, the picture for some reason had a lot of cucumbers. Photos, too, and almost every Theodor posed with great sophistication. And each were different flags geoprinadlezhnosti. Judging by the photos, he was simultaneously in 13 countries! Theo spit at the monitor. Robot vacuum cleaner immediately tried to wipe the spittle from the vertical surface of the monitor hanging from the ceiling, but rolled over and helplessly rotating wheels, sway, a fully completed the enchanting picture of the accident.
No, not completely. Fully ripe when the spit slipped off the self-cleaning surface of the monitor and got exactly the scruff of Theodore, who tried to help at this time, the robot vacuum cleaner to his feet, that is on wheels.
"OBI ... than when they are thinking! "- Theodore relish swore loudly and put the appliance into position. That hurt buzzed and rolled out of the office somewhere in the direction of the kitchen.
The network grew uneasy feeling. At the central news channel commercials began to appear from private video podcasts, which immediately became extremely popular, although the themes were commonplace before the squeak in his mouth: people are discussing someone's photos, videos and other nonsense.
Running with the night-made scripts-entropy absorbers, Theo sent videodirektivy subordinate programmers from all over the world and took the victim's main logic module. This is where it and waiting for the next surprise: according to control data, no problems on the server has not been fixed, the scripts work as scheduled and everything must be perfect! But it was not. Machine Logic behaved worse than a human, passing the query a lot of disconnected shell.
It was probably just deal with this problem in an era of text-internet!
Once upon a time ... when it was still allowed to have private sites, with increasing entropy just fought. Theodore heard from the old stories about how these sites become inaccessible through search engines. Now the number of sites around the world does not exceed several million. This happened after the Ministry of Development has published a decree N.A.H.328 that only the owner of a registered trade mark has the right to a domain name. This decree Ministry kill 2 birds with one stone: clean the network from spam, fraud and waste, while increasing the flow in your pocket advertising budgets of companies that own websites, which is now only one remains-the only way to get visitors to their sites: take the money to the department Propaganda Ministry of Development ...

Yeah, well, the flight of thought, with some aspects of it even looks great. I doubt it would ever come this time, at least not exactly as described here. In my opinion, if the government agrees to break the boundaries of private property / personal life, to introduce a mandatory entry of all data about a person immediately after the birth of it, comes, frankly, confusion. Even now I'm worried about the safety of those "crumbs" of the information contained in the system for me, proizoydi described above, we find ourselves in their power, we become puppets.

Lacks a happy-end:
