I am obsessed with email. If I counted the # of times I check email in a day, it would be way too many! Why is email so important? At times, I email, when I could much more easily pick up a phone!
Internet culture is so addictive with thinks like Facebook, discussion boards, YouTube, Wikipedia, etc.. There is so much useless information out there, it's fascinating. For instance, try googling algae, and you'll see what I mean. Did you know that algae is also a programming language?? And what's Google, anyway? It's an Internet search provider, but it's also a verb in comman usage, now.
Email makes me feel connected to people, and it's the lazy person's way of keeping touch. You reply when you want to, and if you don't like the message, you can ignore it or delete it. What a bizarre way of communication... Yeah, if I have time I'll send a reply... or That's a silly email/communication! I think I'll just ignore it! Hrmm, and some people wonder why proper etiquette and communication is going out the door!

Finally a blog! I mean it wasnt like you had something going on in your life that was more important.
Why do we email? Cuz',as you said, we are too lazy to get off of our asses to get to the phone and pick it up. Plus you can say all of the shit you want and not worry about the feedback you dont. Bascially we are saying it's a selfish form of communication. MEMEMEMEMEME and none of you.
Google is a verb?! Yeah i think it's used this way.... Stop googling your dink or you will go blind! haha
War bloggers and their tedious rants. out stuberry
I vaguely remember a time when we actually used to pick up the phone to talk to each other >.>
I also vaguely remember using MULTIPLE search engines to look things up... altavista, metasearch, even yahoo! Now its just plain Google.
Google is taking over the world. And social skills are falling flat!
At least we can spell....
