Internet Access CAPTCHAs
Jun. 19th, 2009 07:09 pmJust a very quick post on a site I stumbled upon quite by accident, and then I have to go back to grading: Internet Access CAPTCHAs! In the words of the webmasters themselves:
Site administrators use CAPTCHAs to prevent automated scripts from performing certain functions, such as creating an account, sending email to a distribution list, or participating in a discussion thread.
That's fine, as far as it goes. But, frankly, I'd also like to see certain people on the Internet prevented from doing certain things. You know, like: logging onto the Internet.
And so, a modest proposal: Internet Access Captchas, built right into browsers, designed to greatly reduce the overabundance of youtube commenters, MySpacers, and bloggers.
Go try it, it's hella fun! (Of course, my idea of fun and yours might differ greatly!)
