And Sage sums up my thoughts on the internet entirely. For me it has really been an eye opener to other peoples views, needs, wants, ideals etc.
Pre '98 I didn't know how to e-mail yet when I was at school we programmed mini games and animations on a BBC Master System (yes it was funded by the British Broadcasting Corporation). The best game was Frogger on a 5 3/4 inch or whatever size they were back then.
Now I can switch on a buggy copy of windows on my laptop - sit in McDonalds wishing I never ate there, yet log onto sites like the tfp or porno if I'm feeling like it, or I can buy some stuff and have it delivered tomorrow. Or get involved in an auction, or gamble, or play frogger from a museum style website.
What a wonderful age we live in where we can show pictures of ourselves, or blogs of our stories, or post videos of us and our friends drunk to google. Or even photoshop the village people's heads onto a photo of buddies and send it to everyone in the space of a few minutes. I'm all for it.
