The Internet is scary now. I can see what everyone in the world is doing at any given time. Information is endless. Live updates. Live feeds. Blogs and Tweets. The books and the spaces. Searches bring thousands of results. It is amazing, wonderful, overwhelming, and beautiful.
How much longer until it is crazy to pick up a book and read? I personally love sitting with a book and getting into it. I'm not looking forward to the day that all books are in electronic format. Not to say that will ever happen, but who am I to predict the future?
When is that last time you bought a CD? I think it's been years since I have. Itunes and my Ipod are always near by. Things are changing...fast!
And here I am on the bandwagon...this blog. My YouTube account. Myspace and Facebook. I'm not saying I don't like all of it. I love it. But I was thinking about my years in grade school and trying to do research projects... I didn't really do them because it was too hard. Now days, it takes a quick stop at Wikipedia and *ding* project complete. Where was Wikipedia when I was researching European history?
Even shopping is different. Ebay, online store, Craigslist. So easy and so quick.
I'm glad I have some experiences from the "pre-internet" era, so I can be one of those old guys that gets to say, "Back in my day..."
Just a random thought
