Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's one of those negative connotations of the 'net I hope my book will kick in the nads.
Me, too. Because living here in Godforsaken Bumfuck (TM) with my in-laws and no real meatspace friends, I would be on fifty different psychotropic drugs without the Internet.
contemporary basic communication
I think part of it is that it's not basic yet. Effortless for us, second nature for those that follow us, but somehow the people reading the papers? Still think it should be a conscious choice each time it's used--if not, there's probably something wrong.
The other day, I took a survey from Yahoo that asked how long I've been using the internet -- and the longest time option was "four years or more." I was like, Dude! Who, older than 6 and living in the first world, has been using the internet for less than four years??
I also wonder what the people who are hiding their net usage from their loved ones (almost always listed as a "similar to drugs!" symptom in this kind of article) are actually doing on the internet. Because if they're hiding it because they hide all their porn, well, there's your answer. Lying about hours refreshing CNN.com would be a different kind of thing.
Even my mom's been online longer. Not very well, granted, but still!
Haven't we seen this data before?
Oh, and Bush thinks America owns outer space.
President Bush has signed a new National Space Policy that rejects future arms-control agreements that might limit U.S. flexibility in space and asserts a right to deny access to space to anyone "hostile to U.S. interests."
The right to deny access to space? Seriously, WTF?

Only a couple more years, sweetie. That's what I keep saying to myself.

The Vorgons will not be pleased.
Lisah, I recommend not clicking. It's not a cruelty thing or anything, but still. I already wrote my brother back saying it's not fair to make me cry at work. (Then I did it all to you, and to my boss and minion. What?)
