Larry King Live, More or Less
Source: agentbedhead.com
Larry King finds the internet confusing, like so many things that have happened since our nation’s Bicentennial. And disturbing. And, let’s be honest, a little frightening. He does not love it, nosiree. All this emerged during an interview with the detestable Roseann Barr, in which King admitted that he had never used the internet:
KING: I’ve never done it, never gone searching.
BARR: Oh, my God! It just opens up the whole universe. It’s so awesome. You would love it.
KING: No, I wouldn’t.
BARR: Anything you want to know.
KING: The wife loves it. I wouldn’t love it. What, do you punch little buttons and things?
BARR: You just click on this thing. The thing is you got to be able to read, so you have to have strong glasses when you’re over 50 and then you just scroll down and click. It’s not that hard. I can show you how to do it.
KING: No, thanks.
Think Progress has a clip of the whole sorry exchange, which makes Ted Stevens’ description of the Internet as “a series of tubes? sound like the musings of Ray Kurzweil. It’s always gratifying to see an Old Media giant like this revealed as a clueless, out-of-touch fossil. On the downside, the fact that Roseanne Barr is surfing the same internet I use is the sort of skin-crawly fact I’d rather not be reminded of.
