While doing random websurfing today, I found this interesting picture of a 'virus'.From the descriptions it says: This is the 'Flickr Virus', a microvirus that is affecting so many throughout the world. Little is known about its structure and how it transmitted, although recent work indicates that it is a small sphere of energy (possibly light) that travels via the internet. Infection usually occurs soon after a Flickr 'Pro Account' has been acquired.
Symptoms:
1. The patient has a craving for 'viewings' and 'comments' on his/her images and develops a compulsion to upload images to satisfy this need.
2. Obsessive checking for inclusion in 'Scout' and 'Explore'.
3. A compelling desire to add the tag 'interestingness'.
Treatment:
There is no real effective or permanent cure. Total abstinence from Flickr may work for short periods while the patient returns to a normal life style but this is usually only a temporary situation. Long term research, funding, and recognition as an illness is needed.Of course this might just be another one of my 'Refractographs' created out of light and only an image on your computer screen to be treated as a a bit of fun. On the other hand don't stare at it for too long or view large - it could be contagious! ;)
