Is anyone else noticing the internet not working like it used to? Do we blame Google?

Asked by jockmchaggis (37points) December 14th, 2010

OK, the internet is not the most robust thing in the world, but I’ve been using it for many years and have come to expect certain responses from pages, certain errors, similar patterns when something is going wrong. Now I’m finding everything I knew is different. New errors don’t fit the pattern. What I’m interested in is whether anyone else has noticed this? As for what it means… Fluther guidelines say healthy debate should be discouraged, so yes/no answers only people!

I’m going to go ahead and blame the man for this one.

Perhaps you should read the guidelines again as you clearly misunderstood what they said.

I have no idea what you are talking about when you say that everything is different and the erros don’t fit a pattern. Can you elaborate? Different as compared to what? What errors are you getting? What kinds of searches are you doing and what has changed? I just look up stuff and either there’s an answer or there isn’t.

I am not a troll, but have to put my hand up to misreading the guidelines. Cheers Dog.
@kardamom – your internet is obviously fine :)

I think what you’re noticing is the improvement of programming languages. A website is only as good as it’s code and over the years most programming languages make accomodations for mistakes developers are going to make. Most error messages either change or disappear in this progress. Google doesn’t seem significantly related.

No I have not noticed.
