Site administrators use CAPTCHAs to prevent automated scripts from
performing certain functions, such as creating an account, sending email
to a distribution list, or participating in a discussion thread.
That's fine, as far as it goes. But, frankly, wouldn't you also like to
see certain people on the Internet prevented from doing certain things.
You know, like: logging onto the Internet.
And so, a modest proposal: Internet Access Captchas, built right into
browsers, designed to greatly reduce the overabundance of youtube
commenters, MySpacers, and bloggers.
A demo of this proposal has been thoughtfully provided at
