Ah, the world wide web: That which connects each one of us to the remotest parts of the world, and vice versa. That which some have claimed will eventually seal the seemingly imminent globalization of the world as we know it, thereby creating a world in which All is one, and One is all...
Ah, Google, that which was invented by a bunch of nerdlings who are now billionaires with gold-diggers giving each other acrylic nail scratches to get at 'em.
And now, Google, in an attempt to fulfill that promise which they made to us humble searchers when they began to add extra "original" features to their site(s?) and buying out all our most beloved webspots, has done something extra noble. Something which shall change how we perceive the world and those in it forever. Something that will make concrete that ever impending global philosophy: All is one, and One is all...
What is it, you ask? I give you: Google Translations! Oh yes, surely with this ingenious addition to the Google Empire, the communication barrier will be a thing of the past! All obstacles thus far impeding the success of the information highway will be overcome, and all shall be able to learn from each other's culture until all is one!
For example, take this little tidbit from what appears to be a blog entitled Espacio Filmica: "Lamentably, in Spanish, to pronounce the name of some personajillo of these only supposes arduous task, for more inri with polvorón in the mouth now that are approached… Nevertheless, the brilliant Goscinny worked the names of the personages in French language well, always maintaining games of words simply shining."
Do you see now? Do you? This page, though originally written in Spanish, has been translated into English using advanced Google programming. And what can we learn from this example? I'll tell you! It's just no wonder we couldn't understand this garble, as even when translated by the experts at Google, nothing said in foreign language makes any sense. Now that Google has revealed this truth to the world, everyone will inevitably decide to speak the same language, most likely English Webspeak! Colon Right Parentheses!
Nonexistent Reader No. 1: Wow, they're doing satire on this blog now?
Nonexistent Reader No. 2: Maybe it means...satire is awesome? Perhaps??
