I have to agree, wholeheartedly! This looks like the forerunner to an age where not only does everybody have only a 2 minute attention span, but no memory capacity to boot. People are already becomming more lazy by the day.
My other problem with this idea is that it will be severely abused just like everything else on the Net or in the modernized world. Just think - now you can have people push advertisements at you in even more ways. How many of these facts will be useful to anyone?? I think not many at all. Mostly it will be one more receptable for marketing firms to shove something that you do not need up in your face(or in your home "facts" database).
I can see it now:
FACT: Pepsi - choice of a new generation
FACT: Coke - Even better than the real thing
FACT: Burger King - we flame broil unlike McD's
FACT: McD's - Billy Clinton eats here
FACT: Hey baby, look here for a thrill!!
FACT: Sex links in your inbox for free!!
FACT: Get rich quick with no money down...
hmm... looks kinda like my email boxes and most usenet newsgroups. PLEASE come up with a better idea than just another way to allow people to fill our time and lives with useless garbage.
