Holmsian Deduction of Web Analytics

by Steven on 21 March 2010

When analyzing the traffic data of CartoonNetwork.com, Jeff and I found a few surprises in exactly what seemed logical. The traffic of the website spiked on the weekends and was steadily and relatively unvisited during the work/school week. Furthermore, Alexa reported that “cartoonnetwork.com is visited more frequently by females who are in the age range 35-44, have children, received some college education and browse this site from home.”

WHAT? NEWSFLASH: Children are hacking the INTERNET! They have penetrated the very core of web analytics, Alexa Internet. How will we ever judge the web safe when unregistered users under the guises of their middle-aged mothers are crawling the internet, blurring our statistics and reaching as far as Alexa with their unstoppable machinations?

What does this mean for us? It is unavoidable proof that the Internet has applied equality to all humans. Now a mere child can wield what power he will in what we’ve built up as one of the largest free nations in history. The world is his rattle, his action figure, her doll. But that is just now! What may happen in the future?

ANIMALS ON THE INTERNET. It’s logical. It’s going to happen if this trend continues. Some twentysomething blogger might think it cute to put her five-week-old kitten on her keyboard, maybe take a few pictures with the webcam, but this is only the beginning! As mammals, with their advanced brains, are exposed to the technology that permeates every facet of human activity, they will soon learn the ways of the internet, and absolutely NOTHING will stop them.
