Wow! Yelling at yourself from across the street is a novel idea! hehe

But seriously, in order to talk to other people you would have to be almost shoulder to shoulder with him/her/them!. Our species would be living in community shelters where communication would be much easier!.

Then, when we discovered radio waves and electricity, and invented landline phones or cells, the revolutionary disruption of society would be even greater than the Internet alone has caused!. It has for the most part been a beneficial disruption!. But we have not learned to manage it well--yet!. Look at all the kids who beat each other up and film it, just to post it to UTube or Myspace so they can get their 15 minutes of fame!.

That is not managing the Internet!. That is allowing chaos to take us back into Plato's Cave!. The Internet should have been about a new Renaissance in the Information Age!.

My own site is a bit of sanity in a chaotic world!. Thanks for looking at it!. http://freeassemblage!.blogspot!.com/Www@QuestionHome@Com
