When I really think about the internet I don't know if it is really new stuff or just the same old stuff repackaged. Amazon is the 21st Century version of the Sears & Roebuck mail order catalog. Ebay is simply the world's largest garage sale and now we don't have to wait to go over to our Aunt's house to be bored silly with home movies, we have You Tube.
URL, HTML, and RSS are much more secretive, mysterious and powerful than the F.B.I. and C.I.A ever thought about. eBay, eTrades, eTravel, emusic, etc....I'm leaning toward Enough. I know for a fact that I am through with Enron and Exxon.
You can usually tell if someone is not really savvy with the social media stuff if they keep referring to their My SpaceBook page. I can remember when a twit was someone you DIDN'T want to have conversation with.
The very first internet message was sent on Friday, October 29th, of 1969. For the life of me I can't imagine what it said since it wasn't until March of 1998 when the FDA approved Viagra.
For today's Good read, I am recommending 13 1/2 by Nevada Barr. Nevada leaves her Anna Pigeon series for this stand alone psychological thriller that will keep you up until the exciting finish.
Stay tuned for future adventures.
