Prince Says Internet Is Over

Posted by samzenpus on from the it-was-fun-while-it-lasted dept.

the_arrow writes "According to the artist currently known as Prince, 'The internet's completely over.' At least that what he says in an interview with the British newspaper Mirror. Quoting Prince: 'The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you.'"

    To put his statement into context, here some other parts of the interview:
    • says "people, especially young people, don't have enough God in their lives"
    • has been a devout Jehovah's Witness for more than 10 years
    • has a space set aside which he's labelled The Knowledge Room, with a library of religious books
    • strict teetotal vegan
    • says "Playing electric guitar your whole life does something to you. I'm convinced all that electricity racing through my body made me keep my hair."

    If it comes to insightful statements about the internet, I'd suggest to look elsewhere.

    As a gay guy I can assure you nobody finds him cute.
