Rule of thumb: If you want to reduce the effectiveness of your argument by 30% to 70%, give it a title like "It's the End of the Internet As We Know It".
People have been proclaiming the imminent death of the Internet since the 1970s. We're all still here, and we have learned to greet such proclamations with yawns. Be more specific up front, and tone down the rhetoric. Consider a title like "The IPv6 Routing Problem Will Soon Be Here".
It's particularly important to be specific, to get to the point, and to adopt a tone of rational pragmatism when the topic is IPv6. IPv6 is to the "OMG THE NET IS DOOMED" genre as Nigerian princes are to spam. When I see the word my subconscious reflex is to intone "YAGNI YAGNI YAGNI" to myself as I click the Back button. When you write about IPv6, your first-order task is to convince the reader that you aren't just carrying on a long tradition of paranoia.
Yeah, the title seems to have nothing to really do with what's said. We have been getting a steady stream of "there's too much useless information being broadcasted and it's destroying the overall quality of the Internet/email/whatever" since 1998, if not before.
The internet basically started with a 'lo' and the data transferred on it hasn't got any more useless since then.
Claiming there's too much junk on the internet is like claiming there's too many shops in the world. I find new and interesting websites every day, I also find a lot of crap every day. If anything I find less crappy websites now than I did several years ago.
With the advent of Wikipedia I no longer spend hours searching for credible sources of information from unverifiable websites. I mean wikipedia has problems, it just has more good going for it.
