Financial & Travel Musings

I know that it shouldn’t have been a surprise but when I wrote a little commentary on the latest Star Trek movie on my main blog, the number of hits was much higher than normal.

Naturally, when you think about it, it was obvious that would have happened. After all, science fiction fans make up quite a high proportion of the overall user-base of the internet simply because it’s a technology and they’re usually into technology more than your average person would tend to be.

In the early days of the internet revolution that was a whole lot more obvious in that it required a reasonable degree of technological awareness to a) know about the internet and b) work out how to connect to it. Oh, and, of course, you needed to have an interest in getting connected to it just for the sake of getting connected to it as your average person would have been looking for some way to justify the expense whereas to the science fiction fans it was another futuristic toy to play with.

However, that initial base of sites dedicated to various aspects of science fiction is still around. It’s just that there are a great deal non-science fiction sites these days so you don’t notice the depth of information that some of them contain.
