More revealing than a naked streak down a super-highway. All good fun though. And that's just the thing about rants. I love just kicking a subject in the head without having to analyze it too much. I don't think books will die anytime soon though, not until the internet is truly global and highspeed; but the trend is certainly heading there. They'll eventually find a medium that mimics paper enough to satisfy the bibliophiles and runs with enough power to keep the geeks happy. @Inna

But I would venture to guess that you have thrown in a personal fact or two yourself somewhere in your blog entries, that you would not otherwise reveal if you couldn't 'hide' behind the shelter of the screen. At least, my blog is full of such occurrences. There are two sides to every coin. You have opened up quite a HUGE topic here, the whole issue of technology. On the one hand it's good, on the other, pitiful garbage. I for one think it's incredibly sad that paper books are (slowly) becoming a thing of the past, with "digital readers" popping around everywhere. But I think mobile phones and email (or internet as a whole, for that matter) are God's gifts to man!! I guess you can't have your cake, and eat it too; it's a shame, really!
