It cites no sources, it's not encyclopedic, it's ridiculously verbose, and it makes my head hurt. Delete as original research. TheMadBaron 15:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- I thought it was just me. Delete as original research, or nonsense (I can't tell which).--GraemeMcRaetalk 15:47, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, unless the article is cleaned up significantly. There seems to be a real theory of generational compression, although I can't figure out what it is. All the Google hits define it as "compressing generations" or some other circular definition. --TantalumTelluride 21:07, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Seems to be something to do with the theory of technological singularity, which I fondly remember being trendy back in the early 1990s, at a time when fractals, The Shamen and Wired magazine were all genuinely hip and futuristic, and we were on the verge of being contacted by big-headed aliens and so forth. Ah, nostalgia. But delete the article; it would take more work to rewrite this text than to write a new article from scratch. Seems to be the magnum opus of two IP addresses, and the thought of all their hard work being deleted amuses me in a sadistic way. -Ashley Pomeroy 21:39, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
