The skill of web browsing or lack there of?

Asked by KingMalefic (857points) January 14th, 2009

Just curious I like to before tabs have like 30 windows open in IE, now in the days of tabs I have 30 tabs in both IE and Firefox. When the browsers crash and you recover them do you scramble or get startled from all the noises of videos you have left when watching you tube.

Cause now i am scrambling to hit mute, find my earphones, or sift through all the tabs just to either
A. Have it crash on me or
II. Have someone yell at me if I am not ninja to find the right tab.
3. Have someone sit down and break everything

Fix your spelling, sir.
And you are not ninja, you are silly and loud.

I read a really interesting article in a magazine a while ago, I can’t recall what magazine it was but it dealt with how the internet might, and very well most likely is, changing how we consume information, as in how we sort through and store information. It said that it’s quite common for us to now quickly scan articles, read by-lines, or summaries rather than actually sit and read through an entire essay, while some people will save long articles intending to read them later while never actually getting around to it.

The point being is that you’re going to close the tabs anyway, so if you’ve watched a video, read through a website and gleaned whatever value you were digging for, why not just close the tab after you’ve moved on?

Usually if I find I have a bunch of tabs open, by the time I decide to quit browsing the early tabs have lost a lot of relevance to what I’m thinking about by then.

@Jamspoon: I am with you, I usually have a bout 70 tabs open, a lot of fluther, googling, wikipedia, and random stuff. By the time I go back, I don’t even remember what brought me to the first few. :(

@asmonet : Yes you keep clicking and clicking, next thing you know you went from the economic strife of third world countries, to trying to increase your length and girth, and porn.

Why is it that everywhere this group of jellies go, the thread seems to get off topic rather quickly?
As a mod, I’m torn.

asmonet's avatar

Don’t be torn, join the dark side. We have puppies.

asmonet's avatar

Puppies and cake.

Allie's avatar

I like puppies. Cake on the other hand.. not a fan. Unless it’s a PANcake.

KingMalefic's avatar

@Allie : Please don’t say pancakes while I this close to Asmonet in the house…. haha

Allie's avatar

@KingMalefic Hahahaha! So sorry. A brother should never have to hear that.
Hey Asmonet! Keep it down!

KingMalefic's avatar

@Allie : I think she would make the noises just to mess with me, it would only be fair I suppose… ‘Tis all good.

Asmonet that is not a open door for you to disclose who I am kidding she will say anything

Allie's avatar

She will say anything. That is why we love her.

”..startled from all the noises of videos you have left..” You’re watching multiple videos at once? Now that’s multitasking!

Seriously, though, I don’t understand how you could need 70 or even 30 tabs open at once.. I mean, there’s only so much info your eyes and brain can take in at once.. Why leave so much open rather than just open and close things as you go?

KingMalefic's avatar

One thing I failed to mention is that…. I used to do it on 3 monitors all hooked up to the one computer sometimes 2 computers….

Only justifiable point I can make really, is art reference. While working on a project.

asmonet's avatar

My brother makes the naughty down the hall from me on occasion. Gross.

Consider that divulged.

KingMalefic's avatar

@asmonet Cute. Supposedly all it takes is a PANcake. No tabs needed for that. :-p

So that is why there is no more syrup in this house…!

asmonet's avatar

Oh noez, you’ve caught on.
