Yes, to an extent the interweb frightens me. Don't bother asking why because I was gonna tell you anyway...and frankly Margaret, I don't give a flying fuck! (Now why would he throw that in?)

Technology, some say, is exceeding human comprehension. In other words, Technology is improving and redefining itself quicker than most folks can grasp. While the young and adept utilize the power of "Bluetooth", the aged and "toothless" still ponder the esoteric sorcery used to conjure a VCR and plug it in properly. So how long will it take before the ever-widening gap separating "those in the know" and "those without a clue" expands until a only handful of humans can operate the silicon and machinery meant to make life "easier"? Perhaps this is when the tech will begin operating us and not vice-versa. In the meantime, our current level of technology in terms of entertainment and communication is wonderful. My main concern however is that children are seemingly learning to prefer chatrooms and IM's over real physical contact. The net is also an all too convenient playground for those who are uncomfortable with themselves, especially in appearance. Instead of going out and say exercising, any and all initiative is put into maintaining a false persona and the illusion of online friendship. I suppose though one could argue that an illusion is better than nothing...
