I know what you mean. I also find it odd to see the collective effect of these devices in our lives. We were both probably a bit awkward and anti-social before the internet, now that it is here, it is kindof nice to find new ways to relate to people. Many people have a difficult time both balancing their online and offline work, either because of their job or interests but also their online and offline personas. We don't talk the same way on radio as we do the phone as we do in an email or how we might in a skype call. I would never ask a group of strangers to write me an essay for money... but I did do just that on here and today I need to pay the winner. I am glad online life is different. The thing that will be most interesting for our generation then, is to go through the trials and errors of our ways to find a new way of life that might actually be sustainable. If not, we just go back to Nature :)
