He would no doubt comment on the absurdity of companies like Google, the unprecedented level of human talent and inventiveness dedicated to tasks such as allowing us to view pictures of cats, or get into petty squabbles with strangers.

There's also the matter of Google users who inexplicably lose access to their account, and the response is so utterly obtuse it would cause a Vogon to blush.

I would never wish for any Google or Facebook employee to be "First against the wall" but I do admire Adams' unerring prescience in this matter.
