Over the course of 2,700 words, comedian and actor Patton Oswalt thoroughly and explicitly underlines everything that’s wrong with pop culture at the dawn of 2011. “When everyone has easy access to their favorite diversions and every diversion comes with a rabbit hole’s worth of extra features and deleted scenes and hidden hacks to tumble down and never emerge from, then we’re all just adding to an ever-swelling, soon-to-erupt volcano of trivia, re-contextualized and forever rebooted,” he writes in Wired . “We’re on the brink of Etewaf: Everything That Ever Was–Available Forever.” For reference, that’s bad. Don’t worry, Oswalt will helpfully explain why. [ Wired ]
