Merely that I have a World Wide Web page does not give me any power, any abilities, nor any status in the real world.

I sense an insatiable demand for connectivity. Maybe all these people have discovered important uses for the Internet. Perhaps some of them feel hungry for a community that our real neighborhoods don't deliver. At least a few must wonder what the big deal is.

While I admire the insights of many of the people in the world of computing, I get this cold feeling that I speak a different language.

The Internet is a perfect diversion from learning... it opens many doors that lead to empty rooms.
