JARRE SEES NO FUTURE FOR INTERNET
JEAN-MICHEL JARRE is convinced the internet will eventually disappear - b ecause it has become a "brutal" marketplace which future generations will ignore.
The French synthpop pioneer is adamant the web has quickly transformed from an "anarchist dream" into a huge black market where a range of dange rous drugs can be easily purchased.
And he warns that the online phenomenon won’t last - because younger ge nerations will reject it as a "sham".
Jarre tells Uncut magazine, "Any drug sold on the internet (is dangerou s). The internet being a drug of sorts, is a very effective way to sell o ther drugs. The sad thing about the net is the way that this anarchist dr eam has been turned so swiftly into the most brutal, cynical and intrusiv e marketing tool ever seen.
"I predict the next cultural revolution will come from today’s children .. They will recognise the net for the ugly, exploitative sham that it is and reject it."
