A long haul, by Wikipedia's standards. I can't help but agree with the vast majority of what you have said and find the shrinking time spent in our most natural communication technique, face to face conversation, a rather depressing notion. But all the same, humans minds have proven more adaptable and versatile than any observer could ever have predicted, so i look forward to the solution as much as i rue the problem. Thanks for the ride, thanks for the inventiveness of your writing and thanks for the thoughts, i'll do with them as i wish.

I think it is great having access to information, its having the time and ability to manage and sort out the information that is crucial here. Dare I say a lot of the stuff found on the internet are either repetitions of the same info or worse yet fabrications so that for the novice who can't discriminate, they will be grossly misinformed. I guess the question here is what one does with the information they obtain from the internet. Do we believe it or not? Don't get me wrong, I love the internet, and yes I confess , I am a google geek but after a while, we find websites we trust and keep to the same ones, not unlike people going to the same grocery store or butchers because they are reliable. Yes its a lot of information, but we should be able to choose what we want to know and when we want to stop as easy as a flick of a button when we trun our computers off............... Dear Brandy,
