NewZoid! - World's First Computer-Generated Artificial News Headline Site
(PRWEB) April 13, 2001
Daniel Young, an American inventor, designer and artist, has launched NewZoid at http://www. newzoid. com (http://www. newzoid. com), continuously and automatically presenting the world's first computer-generated synthetic news headlines. The headlines resemble real ones but are, in large part, noticeably odd and amusing. Some headlines, however, can be so compelling that NewZoid must warn readers not to act on them.
NewZoid presents the headlines as allegedly coming from the parallel worlds theorized by quantum physics and discovered by the fugitive physicist, Professor Daniel Young. NewZoid also allows people to explore those worlds by sending headlines to them and receiving responses. In addition, visitors can vote on favorite headlines and send sets to friends.
NewZoid is based on Young's proprietary computer software. It ranges over the Internet, transforming its raw material into endlessly amazing, entertaining and baffling headlines from the innumerable parallel worlds. No one ever receives the same group of headlines twice. With sufficient endurance a person can theoretically see hundreds of thousands of NewZoid headlines in a day.
NewZoid headlines cover the full range of human interests including world events, politics, entertainment, science, business, crime and the unusual. They seem real but there is something strange or unbelievable about most of them.
Young says, "I created NewZoid but now it survives on its own. Like a good parent, I gave it basic guidance, I check its health once in a while, but I don't run its life." Young adds, "NewZoid never stops changing, it is always fresh and unpredictable." Young concludes, "It is a great antidote to reported reality. It is even conceivable that NewZoid is giving us genuine alternative realities."
